As the national regulator, we seek to influence safety in the industry by identifying high risk, unsafe behaviours and deterring non-compliance. We do this by informing, educating, monitoring and enforcing the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL).
What we do
Our dedicated compliance and enforcement team:
- works with industry, police other agencies to provide advice relating to the HVNL and on-road compliance enforcement activities
- shares information relating to the ongoing development of consistent compliance and enforcement processes
- engages in on-going consultation with industry.
Our Goal
The NHVR’s mission is to improve heavy vehicle safety, productivity and consistency. To achieve this goal, our compliance and enforcement team seek to develop:
- additional strategies to assist in monitoring and reporting of compliance and enforcement actions and outcomes
- robust compliance standards and enforcement strategies in consultation with road transport authorities and police agencies
- processes to identify non-compliant heavy vehicle operators – including consulting with jurisdictions and coordinating appropriate enforcement strategies to deter, detect and remedy non-compliance and improper practices by those who have the potential to cause serious detriment to road safety and infrastructure
- a higher level of public awareness and confidence by promoting and achieving sustained compliance with the HVNL.
