Rules & compliance
As an independent statutory body, the NTC develops national regulatory and operational reform and implementation strategies for Australian transport networks. Our focus is on leading activities where we can make a real difference nationally.
Nationally consistent rules and compliance makes it easier for industry, drivers, operators and the wider Australian community to know and understand their responsibilities, making roads, rail and ports safer and more efficient for all Australians.
