National Fuel Availability Bulletin: Current Supply Chain Status
Australia is currently experiencing localized fuel shortage issues linked to ongoing supply chain disruptions affecting various regions. Industry analysts and supply chain experts have attributed these challenges to a combination of logistical constraints, maintenance at key refineries, and fluctuating wholesale distribution timelines. While these factors have resulted in widespread outages and instances of petrol stations running dry across the country, fuel wholesalers are actively working to restore delivery schedules and stabilize inventory levels at affected service stations.
Queensland is currently identified as the state experiencing the most significant impact regarding fuel availability. Motorists in this region, along with those in other affected areas, are encouraged to exercise patience and utilize the FuelRadar map to verify real-time stock availability before traveling to a local servo. By checking current data, drivers can avoid unnecessary trips and ensure they can locate petrol stations with active supplies.
What to check
- The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) continues to monitor fuel price and supply data to ensure transparency and prevent anti-competitive behaviour during supply disruptions.
- Major fuel retailers have issued statements confirming that they are prioritising resupply efforts to service stations experiencing low stock, citing logistical prioritisation as the primary method to mitigate the shortage.
- The Federal Government has maintained that national fuel security remains robust, with sufficient reserves in the system to meet demand while supply chains recover from temporary logistical bottlenecks.

What does "Running Dry" mean?
A station is flagged as "running dry" when its reported fuel price data becomes stale, shows placeholder values ($999.90), or the station is explicitly marked as inactive by data providers. This typically indicates the station has run out of one or more fuel types, though it can also reflect temporary reporting issues.
Why are stations running dry?
Availability can change because of delivery timing, temporary supply gaps, station maintenance, reporting delays, or strong local demand. Regional stations can be affected sooner because deliveries are less frequent and storage capacity varies by site.
