4 days ago

Canberra, Australia The Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development Full time

A little bit about us

The Road & Vehicle Safety Division aims to improve road safety and reduce road trauma for all Australians. The division has four main functions: setting the policy direction for road safety through the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-30 and National Road Safety Action Plan 2023-25; delivering targeted road safety programs; developing and maintaining the Road Vehicle Standards Act 2018 (RVSA) and other legislative instruments and vehicle standards; and regulating the first provision of vehicles in the Australian market including vehicle certification, imports, enforcement and vehicle recalls.

The Vehicle Safety Operations Branch administers the RVSA and the Road Vehicle Standards Rules 2019 (together the RVS legislation), which sets vehicle standards for all new vehicles entering the Australian market and regulates the supply of used vehicles to the market, establishes a Register of Approved Vehicles (RAV) and establishes a framework for recalling unsafe road vehicles and approved road vehicle components.

The Compliance and Enforcement Section within the Vehicle Safety Operations Branch is responsible for the department’s compliance and enforcement activities under the RVS legislation. The Section consists of 3 interlinked teams:

Intelligence – This team uses research, data analysis and external relationships to produce intelligence products. These products assist us in understanding the industry we regulate and helps inform us where to direct our monitoring and investigation resources. Compliance and Monitoring – This team undertakes proactive and reactive compliance monitoring activities to confirm if regulated entities are complying with RVS legislation. Where non-compliance is identified the team works to correct the identified non-compliance voluntarily, or through using enforcement responses. This team may also refer serious matters to the Investigations team. Investigations – This team investigates more serious alleged breaches of the RVS legislation and recommends resolution via a suite of enforcement responses such as fines or court action.
