Notices that may require Mass Accreditation

The content on this page includes amendments due to changes to the Heavy Vehicle National Law and Regulations that commence on 1 August 2026. For more information, please see HVNL reform implementation.

List of notices and permit-based schemes that may require Alternative Compliance Accreditation - Mass.

This is not an exhaustive list; please check notices, permit-based schemes, and your access permits to confirm if there are any Mass Accreditation requirements.

If you're a PBS operator, please ensure that you check the requirements of your Vehicle Approval (VA) and access permit, as specific conditions may be imposed in relation to Mass Management Accreditation, which will require you to obtain Alternative Compliance Accreditation (ACA) moving forward.
