This project is about the safe and legal use of innovative vehicles and personal mobility devices.

The model Australian Road Rules form the basis of road rules of each Australian state and territory.

We regularly update the Australian Light Vehicle Standards Rules (ALVSR) and the Heavy Vehicle (Vehicle Standards) National Regulation (HV(VS)NR) to ensure they remain clear, practical and fit for purpose.

We are reviewing the Assessing Fitness to Drive Standards (the Standards). The Standards support road safety by providing a nationally consistent basis for assessing and managing fitness to drive for people with medical conditions or functional limitations. Developed in consultation with health professionals, licensing authorities, industry and consumer stakeholders, and road safety experts, the Standards ensure decisions about health and licensing are fair, consistent and evidence based. The Standards are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain current and fit for purpose.

The NTC is working with governments and industry to make light vehicle modifications safer and more consistent across Australia.

Ministers have asked us to review the Australian Road Rules (ARRs) relating to child restraints for passengers under 16 years old.
