The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) is strengthening transparency and accountability across the heavy vehicle industry, launching a new tool that gives operators direct visibility of their compliance performance.
For the first time, operators will be able to access intercept and non-compliance data relating to their fleet, supporting more proactive, informed safety and compliance management.
Available through NHVR Go, the new tool allows accredited operators to view details of NHVR-conducted intercepts and outcomes involving vehicles linked to their account.
NHVR Chief Operations Officer Paul Salvati said the new Intercept Outcomes Tool was a first for the regulator and marked a significant step forward in supporting industry-led compliance.
“Working in the heavy vehicle industry can be a challenging and demanding task, meaning timely, relevant information is critical,” he said.
“By sharing data collected during intercepts, operators can identify trends and patterns of non-compliance across their operations earlier – and importantly, take action.
“We want to empower industry through the sharing of information to self-manage their compliance performance, while providing timely visibility of enforcement actions that may otherwise be delayed or not known to operators.
“It is a service designed to support industry, with access to this information supporting safer, more productive business practices and supports freight operators to meet their primary duty obligations under the Heavy Vehicle National Law.”
The Intercept Outcomes Tool will alert operators when one of their vehicles is intercepted by the NHVR, regardless of the interception outcome.
It provides information including vehicle registration number, VIN or chassis number, and where available, the vehicle make and model.
Operators can also view date and time of intercepts, state location and offence category if an offence is detected.
All information is de-identified to protect driver privacy, with NHVR-issued compliance data updated every 24 hours to ensure operators are working with accurate, current information.
Mr Salvati said the new tool was an example of the NHVR working collaboratively with industry to ensure the highest safety standards were met.
“The Intercept Outcomes Tool was tested and refined using real-world operator feedback,” he said.
“We trialled this function with a small pilot group in 2025 and made improvements based on their input. That collaboration will help ensure the tool continues to evolve to meet industry needs.”
This use of the Intercept Outcomes Tool is voluntary and free of charge and will not replace paper-based notices or record keeping requirements.
Access is available to National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme accredited operators as part of a staged rollout. There will be broader industry access later in 2026.
