Western Australian Heavy Vehicle Accreditation

In WA, operators of certain types of heavy vehicles must become accredited to gain a permit or notice from Main Roads. 

Western Australian Heavy Vehicle Accreditation is mandatory for individuals and organisations that require a permit or notice to perform any transport task as part of a commercial business or for profit within Western Australia, including interstate operators who;

• Operate a B-double or Road Train; or
• Operate a truck and trailer over 42.5 tonnes gross mass; or
• Operate under a concessional loading scheme; or
• Require an annual permit or notice

Accreditation involves two modules - Fatigue and Vehicle Maintenance, which operators are required to incorporate into their daily work practices
