ATDRA are active in advocating for changes to franchising legislation to better protect the interests of automotive businesses including tyre retailers.
ATDRA represents tyre retailers, wholesalers, retreaders, and service providers across the country. We advocate for industry standards, sustainability, and safety while supporting members through information-sharing, representation, and strategic initiatives that promote the long-term viability of the tyre and retread sector.
ATDRA’s mission is to ensure the Australian tyre and retread industry remains competitive, safe, and sustainable. We aim to support members with technical guidance, policy advocacy, and industry collaboration while promoting responsible tyre use, recycling, and environmental stewardship across the supply chain.
The tyre industry faces increasing environmental expectations, import competition, and evolving vehicle technologies. With greater focus on circular economy practices, retreading and recycling have become vital. ATDRA works to position members for success by addressing regulatory challenges, promoting safety and standards, and driving innovation across tyre services and sustainability.
Our stakeholders include tyre retailers, retreaders, fleet operators, manufacturers, environmental agencies, regulators, and industry partners. ATDRA collaborates with government and industry bodies to advocate for fair regulations, improved waste management, and the development of sustainable practices in tyre distribution, fitting, maintenance, and end-of-life management.
