Heavy Vehicle / NHVR Compliance
Chain of responsibility duties extend to every party, not just the driver.
Custom-built heavy vehicle compliance software for Australian transport operators under the Heavy Vehicle National Law.
The Operational Reality
The Heavy Vehicle National Law's chain of responsibility provisions place duties on operators, schedulers, consignors, and loaders alike — enforced by the NHVR through roadside inspection, audit, and infringement.
The HVNL applies in every jurisdiction except Western Australia and the Northern Territory, which run their own legislation; the NHVR enforces compliance through inspection and operator audit.
Chain of responsibility provisions impose a primary duty on every party in the transport supply chain to ensure the transport task doesn't cause a breach — not just the driver.
Fatigue management accreditation (Basic or Advanced Fatigue Management) requires ongoing documentation and demonstrated compliance with accreditation conditions.
Mass, dimension, and maintenance records must be accessible for roadside verification and form part of the NHVR audit framework.
