Are you ready to lead the charge in creating a safer, smarter transport future for students?

This unique team that sits within the Department of Education provides daily school transportation services for approximately 15,000 regional students, 850 students attending a special education setting and 700 students attending the intensive English language program.

This pivotal role champions a strong 'safety first' culture across schools, the department, and their contracted fleet ensuring every student's journey is safe, compliant, and future-ready.

You'll lead assurance and auditing activities, oversee risk assessments, and manage accreditation processes with precision and purpose. With a sharp focus on national and state regulations, you'll work closely with key stakeholders to ensure our transport operations meet the highest standards.
