Border Express is a nationwide bulk and parcel express distribution service with over 40 years of history, delivering reliable solutions across Australia. Recently, ISA’s Transport and Logistics Industry Engagement Manager, Camilla Elmes, met with James Motulalo at the South Brisbane site to discuss some of the key challenges the company faces in sourcing workers, particularly for vital frontline roles. The conversation also explored the availability of training programs to support the growth and progression of workers within the transport and logistics sector.

The meeting highlighted the importance of utilising funding subsidies to attract and upskill workers, which are crucial in addressing workforce shortages and ensuring businesses can build sustainable teams.

Border Express shared its success in engaging with local schools to raise awareness of the diverse roles and career opportunities available in the transport and logistics industry.
