On April 9, 2025, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) granted authorization to Queensland Rail Limited and Aurizon Network Pty Ltd to jointly conduct a tender process for rail profiling services.

This authorization allows the two companies to work together in a competitive bidding process, which is expected to enhance efficiency and service delivery in the rail sector.

The ACCC's approval is valid for a period of 15 years, expiring on May 1, 2040, providing a long-term framework for collaboration between the two entities.

Further details regarding the application and the ACCC's determination can be found on the ACCC's public register, ensuring transparency in the decision-making process.
