This unit, comprised of three platoons, was formed in July 1942 at Melville Camp in Western Australia with personnel initially from the 109th Reserve Motor Transport Company.

They carried out general transport duties throughout Western Australia, but with troops numbers declining the unit was disbanded in September 1943.
