- Purin128AL (talk · contribs) – VIC, template and BSicon route map creator
- JML1148 (talk · contribs) – VIC, interested in Victorian transport, mainly trains and proposals.
- ThylacineHunter (talk · contribs) – VIC – Victorian trains, trams, paddle boats. Also templates, slight knowledge of lua modules, BSicon routes, update to old naming convention
- NotOrrio (talk · contribs) – VIC, mainly interested in trains and buses in Melbourne but may also occasionally work on articles in other cities around Australia
- Steelkamp (talk · contribs) – Western Australia public transport and roads
- JarrahTree (talk · contribs) – WA – Australia wide project scope issues
- Marcnut1996 (talk · contribs) – VIC, formerly NSW – NSW and Vic transport
- Calistemon (talk · contribs) – WA, loves to take images of ships, planes and trains
- Fork99 (talk · contribs) – NSW, mainly trains/trams in NSW, but around public transport in general.
- Anothersignalman (talk · contribs) – VIC, rolling stock and signalling/interlocking. Previously heavily involved, limited time and energy at present given previous decisions re quality of sources and level of detail. At the time people suggested I should move all content to a Wikia page but that didn't end up working.
- Happily888 (talk · contribs) – NSW, trains
- Cityedit14 (talk · contribs) — SA, particularly interested in trains in Adelaide, but generally all things Adelaide Metro.
- HoHo3143 (talk · contribs) — VIC, most transport related articles in Victoria and Australia-wide aviation articles. Mostly working on getting articles about Metro and V/Line to GA status.
- ArrowAU (talk · contribs) — WA, primarily interested in Perth public transport, roads, some national locomotives, and limited knowledge of aviation. Some added knowledge of Routemaps and BSicons through contributions to other (fictional) transport-related wikis.
- Jh15s (talk · contribs) — NSW, interested in transport in general. I keep an eye out in the news for any events, new projects/organisations etc. that I can add to relevant articles (or create new articles for) on Wikipedia. I've worked with BSicons as well as infoboxes and other common templates.
- DrRespect (talk · contribs) — WA, public transport, roads, infobox maps, BSicon route and station maps
- Alomico (talk · contribs) — NSW/VIC, Regional train lines in Victoria and trams in Melbourne.

- Takerlamar (talk · contribs) - VIC, photos of all types of transport vehicles and infrastructure, content related to cycling for transport, and data.
- Bryce Stansfield (talk · contribs) - QLD, Translink network, freight routes, applications of operations research to transport planning. Happy to help :)
- PEPSI697 (talk · contribs) - VIC, update articles on public transport in Australia, image fixes, upload new images of Melbourne or Australian public transport related content, upload outdated images of train stations or other transports in Australia and bringing Wikipedia's user experience better than before and to a whole new level.
- Argmae (talk · contribs) - VIC, editing transport and infrastructure pages for an enhanced user experience, uploading regularly updated images of railway stations, rolling stock and other Melbourne infrastructure.
