Victorian Heavy Vehicle Licensing and Employment Pathways Review

The Victorian Heavy Vehicle Licensing and Employment Pathways Review will examine the heavy vehicle licensing system, driver competency and safety.

The review will also evaluate career pathways into professional heavy vehicle driving within Victoria.

The streams of work align with national and strategic priorities as well as heavy vehicle industry concerns with driver licensing and employment opportunities. 

The review's first priority is to assess the heavy vehicle licensing framework from a Victorian perspective, which will inform improvements and initiatives for heavy vehicle licensing, assessment and training.

The review will then examine pathways for heavy vehicle drivers, identifying barriers and opportunities to address industry concerns about attracting and retaining drivers.

Victorian Transport Association President Peter Anderson is chairing the review group, supported by a panel of experts and representatives from Freight Victoria and VicRoads.
