This unit applies to all taxi drivers who are entering the role of drivers of wheelchair accessible taxis. Work involves transferring passengers, and applying both manual loading and unloading with the aid of equipment/appliances. The work involves the application of routine vehicle driving principles and procedures to maintain the safety and operation of a commercial vehicle conveying people with disabilities in varying driving contexts. Transporting passengers with disabilities must be carried out in compliance with the licence requirements and regulations of the relevant state/territory roads and traffic authority.
Driving is performed with limited or minimum supervision, with limited accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the prescribed outcomes.
