MTAA and AADA sign agreement to strengthen industry collaboration

Two of Australia’s key automotive industry organisations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at strengthening collaboration across the national sector.

The agreement between the Motor Trades Association of Australia (MTAA) and the Australian Automotive Dealer Association (AADA) formalises the existing working relationship between the groups and establishes a framework for closer cooperation on policy development, advocacy and industry engagement.

The move comes as Australia’s automotive industry undergoes significant change, driven by new technologies, evolving regulations and shifting market dynamics.

MTAA interim executive director Peter Jones says the agreement represents a “logical next step in strengthening national collaboration”,

AADA chief executive James Voortman says collaboration between key industry bodies is “critical as the sector navigates new technologies, evolving regulations and changing market dynamics”.

By working more closely together, MTAA and AADA aim to ensure Australia’s automotive industry has a strong and coordinated voice on key issues affecting the sector.
