Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills required to provide compliance information on vehicle configurations to transport industry clients. It includes identifying client information requirements, providing detailed compliance information to clients and confirming client understanding. This requires knowledge of legislation, conditions and restrictions on vehicle configurations and loads and the requirements for inspections and permits for particular vehicle configurations.

This unit applies to those working in road transport regulatory roles who are required to explain the conditions and restrictions applying to vehicle configurations for the movement of loads.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would work independently in consultation with others, performing routine tasks in a range of familiar contexts.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
