G’day! Come on board a train that carries not only passengers, but ideas, innovation, and a shared global commitment to railway safety excellence.
The Australian Rail Industry Standards Organisation (ARISO) and the Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator (ONRSR) are honoured to welcome global railway safety leaders to join us in Sydney, Australia, in October 2027 for the 37th International Railway Safety Council (IRSC) Conference.
Australia’s land mass is three-quarters the size of Europe. It’s rail network connects vast distances — from the Indian Pacific’s transcontinental journey to bustling metropolitan corridors and Sydney’s iconic Harbour Bridge. Our railways link people and global markets across challenging terrains, just as our industry navigates a transformative journey where innovation builds resilience.
Under the National Rail Action Plan, Australia’s rail industry is undergoing generational change, making rail safer and more interoperable. This digital era of reform shapes the future of safety — now is the ideal time to witness this evolution.
Our theme, “Bridging Horizons: Strengthening Connections in Railway Safety Excellence”, reflects the collaborative spirit essential to advancing railway safety globally. Join us to explore critical topics and promote international cooperation and knowledge sharing as drivers of continuous improvement.
Sydney offers an inspiring backdrop where natural beauty meets world-class infrastructure. Beyond conference sessions, explore world-renowned attractions and network with global colleagues.
Rail safety knows no borders. Every connection we make, every insight we share builds a bridge that strengthens rail safety for passengers, workers, and communities everywhere.
In 2027, let Sydney be where global expertise converges and horizons are bridged.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Sydney, Australia, in October 2027!
