Issue Date: April 2024
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate wheelchair accessible taxis used to transport people with disabilities, in varying driving contexts.
It includes carrying out pre-operational checks of the taxi and its ancillary equipment, communicating effectively with passengers, securing passengers and ancillary/mobility equipment, providing appropriate support to passengers during their journey, and manoeuvring the taxi with due consideration of the passenger’s disability.
This unit applies to all taxi drivers who are authorised to drive a wheelchair accessible taxi. Work involves transferring passengers and applying the aid of equipment/appliances to do this.
Driving is performed with limited or no supervision, and with full accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the prescribed outcomes.
This unit meets part of the certification requirements for obtaining taxi driver accreditation. As requirements may vary between states and territories, people seeking taxi accreditation should contact their state or territory taxi regulator.
