The mobile crane industry has initiated a voluntary crane assessment program throughout Australia. Developed in consultation with the mobile crane industry as a whole, the program aims to augment existing safety standards with annual assessments of mobile cranes now being made by CraneSafe (a division of the Crane Industry Council of Australia).

The Crane Industry Council of Australia (CICA) was formed with the objective of providing one voice on matters of mutual concern to the Australian mobile crane industry. As a forum, CICA provides the opportunity for owners, marketers and end users to come together through conferences and seminars organized and managed by Council Officers.
