Queensland Rail (QR)

Queensland Rail (QR) is a $A3 billion a year business, being one of Australia's largest and most modern transport providers operating on more than 20, 000 kilometres of track across Australia. With the acquisition of Australian Railroad Group (ARG) – the largest freight haulier on the western seaboard and currently holds approximately 39 per cent of the national grain freight market and 45 per cent of the minerals rail freight market – it now has a national footprint.

QR is a government-owned corporation (GOC) accountable to its shareholding ministers, the Queensland Treasurer and the Queensland Minister for Transport. The Board is responsible for ensuring the corporation acts in a commercial manner. QR employs over 14,000 people, including those in QR's three subsidiaries. In today's competitive environment, QR, like any other corporation, is being driven by market and social forces, which demand greater services and better value for money.
