The Australian United Fresh Transport Advisory Council Ltd (AUFTAC Ltd) was incorporated in November, 1998, four years after it was formed under the auspices of the Australia United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association (AUF). AUFTAC provides a forum for the horticultural transport sector, working collectively to promote, improve and add value to the commercial businesses that form the foundation of its membership and provide the horticultural industry with distribution services.

With membership drawn predominantly from the road transport manufacturers and carriers, AUFTAC LTD is fully autonomous and generates all its funding requirements through membership subscriptions and sale of its products. The activities of the group are managed by a Board elected by the members annually. Face-to-face quarterly meetings are held at different national locations to foster involvement by all members. AUFTAC membership is continuing to grow with several new members joining in the last 12 months. The Criteria for membership is : "Any Company whose primary role is to operate a business focussed on the transportation of horticultural products".
