What minimum standards could look like

March 30, 2023

Start: 1:30 pm

End: 2:20 pm

Later this year, the Australian Government will propose new laws to impose minimum standards for some trucking businesses.

The last national attempt at minimum standards – the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal – was not successful, although some states have regulated owner driver contracts for years.

Our minimum standards session will discuss—

  • the likely design of the new system
  • the businesses that could be covered
  • how the standards could be set
  • the system’s potential overlap with other laws, including unfair contracts and the national truck laws.
