2025 Highlights
Leaders’ lunches and dinners
Leaders’ lunches are small informal boardroom style events, limited to 20-30 senior executives engaging in Chatham House Rules discussions with key government stakeholders on trending industry issues. Leaders’ lunches are free for members.
Industry lunches
Industry lunches featuring high profile guest speakers are held regularly in capital cities across the country, attracting 300-500 attendees. These events offer an ideal opportunity for companies to book corporate tables and fly their company flags.
Policy Partnerships
Through our policy programs Roads Australia plays a key role in advocating for a better transport system for Australia and shifting the dial on our national priorities. Policy partnerships provide a platform for members to showcase thought leadership and expertise. Shape research, drive advocacy, and create opportunities for reform across our four policy priorities:
Boost productivity; Reduce, reuse, recover; Unlock the potential in people; Stay safe.
Emerging Leaders Program
The Emerging Leaders (EL) Program was introduced in 2016 for our members 0-10 years in the industry to network and expand career horizons. The network of our young leaders is more than 2,000. The program also represents RA’s commitment to fostering young talent and attracting and retaining a diverse workforce. The EL Program also includes our Gala dinner and this year we are introducing an EL Forum to be held the afternoon prior to the Gala dinner. There are also a series of lunches and webinars held nationally focussing on leadership.
Private Board dinners
Board dinners are exclusive to Tier 1 members and Patrons who are invited to an intimate and private dinner with the RA Board immediately following Board meetings. Board dinners are by invitation only and typically host 20-25 guests at EGM to CEO level.
Annual lunches
RA holds Annual (end-of-year) lunches in capital cities across the country to celebrate
the festive season with members and invited guests. These are our flagship events attracting up to 550 guests in major cities. Guest speakers are generally state premiers or senior ministers.
Fellowship Program
The Fellowship Program is a unique mentoring initiative that matches industry ‘up and comers’ with 10-15 years of experience with some of the most experienced, senior leaders in the Australian infrastructure sector. The Program focuses heavily on mentoring and leadership and provides a strong sense of ongoing Fellowship with alumni opportunities and connection to the Emerging Leaders program. There are 40 fellows in each intake.
