About MTA ACT

Motor Trades Association of the ACT

The ACT Motor Trades Association Ltd was established 40 years ago in 1974 by a group of committed motor traders.

They wanted to create an organisation to support members to run their businesses efficiently and cost-effectively and to be their voice with Government, key industry bodies, regulators and suppliers.

The Association has since grown and helped many members over the years to achieve their business goals and support and represent them to both Government and Corporate bodies.
