National Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) Action Plan

2024-27 National Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) Action Plan – draft for public consultation

The 2024-27 National Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) Action Plan helps implement the National Road Transport Technology Strategy vision of a safer, more efficient, productive, sustainable and accessible transport system for all Australians through deployment and uptake of new road transport technologies to enhance social, environmental and economic well-being.

Key priorities for 2024-27

CAVs, including C-ITS, are the key currently emerging road transport technologies and were the main focus of the last two action plans. This 2024-27 Action Plan makes this focus explicit.

The 2024-27 Action Plan sets out national priority actions that the Commonwealth, states and territories will work together to implement that can take Australia forward to deployment of CAVs.

The key priorities for the Action Plan are to:

  • complete the work underway to establish the end-to-end AV regulatory framework for the safe commercial deployment of AVs in Australia
  • further advance nationally consistent C-ITS deployment in Australia, and
  • consider cross-cutting issues including data sharing, workforce impacts, supporting infrastructure and accessibility and sustainability issues.

Alongside work underway by states and territories,[1] the Action Plan also aims to address AV readiness gaps identified in the National Transport Commission’s [AV Readiness Report[2]] that span across the areas of:

  • Policy and legislation
  • Technology and innovation
  • Infrastructure, and
  • Business and community acceptance.

Each action in this Action Plan references back to the relevant readiness pillar identified in the AV Readiness Report.


[1] State and territory strategies and roadmaps set out the activities they are each undertaking within their own jurisdictions to facilitate technology deployment.
