Altus Group has been named a Finalist in the 33rd National Safety Awards of Excellence, recognised for our Workzone Digitisation worksite safety technology.
Altus Traffic's Perth crew has been running traffic management on the Stephenson Avenue Extension since taking over in early 2022, deploying up to 26 Traffic Controllers on nights when both Mitchell Freeway carriageways close at once.
Response time is only the first part of an emergency traffic management callout. What actually determines the outcome is depot coverage, compliant documentation from the first hour and whether the provider can sustain a response for as long as the event runs.
Altus Traffic operates permanent depots in Hobart and Launceston, supported by a mobile workforce distributed across regional Tasmania. This localised branch management structure means a call to our TAS team connects you with people who know the local road network, the local council contacts and the local conditions.
Altus Traffic presented two work zone protection technologies to the safety leaders of Victoria’s Big Build contractors at the recent VIDA Roads Contractor Safety Forum. One puts steel between a crew and live traffic. The other puts data around them. Both exist for the same reason: no one working on a live road should have to depend on a passing driver paying attention.
Altus Traffic provides traffic management, road closures and permits for Australia's power, gas, water and communications networks, supporting utility crews on planned works and on cyclone, storm and bushfire recovery nationwide.
In Western Australia, Altus Traffic is backed by a multi-depot network stretching from Geraldton in the north to Albany and Esperance in the south, and out to Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields, giving Altus Traffic one of the most complete traffic control footprints of any provider operating in WA.
Altus Group has been delivering Workzone Digitisation across a rolling program of night re-sheet and asphalt shifts for Downer | Transurban on the M2 Motorway. Rather than a single shift, this has been a sustained deployment, and that continuity has allowed us to do something a one-off snapshot cannot: observe how a worksite changes once it becomes fully visible.

If you work in traffic management in Australia, you already know: the industry doesn't stand still.

In 2025, we made a deliberate choice to be part of those conversations — not from the sidelines, but from the table where decisions get made.

The 2025 Traffic Controller Safety Survey highlights the importance of continued collaboration, innovation and training in making Australia and New Zealand’s roadworks safer for all.

Every day, thousands of road workers enter high-risk environments to help build, repair, and maintain the infrastructure that keeps our communities moving. Behind the hi-vis vests, cones, and road signs are real people — parents, siblings, friends, and neighbours — each with a story, a purpose, and someone waiting for them to come home.
At Altus Group, we talk often about growth, opportunity, and our people-first culture. Today, those values are more than words — they’re in motion.
