The Victorian Government is working with the State’s taxi industry to increase professionalism and accountability through a new accreditation scheme.

What industry participants need to do?

Licence holders and operators are deemed accredited from the start of the scheme. This means they are required to take any necessary action to meet the minimum business and service standards. They must also comply with the regulations by keeping and supplying the data required to measure their performance.

'Deemed' licence holders and operators may be audited at any time to check whether they are meeting the standards and complying with the regulations. They will be advised when they need to apply for renewal of their accreditation – some time over the following two years. If a licence holder or operator wishes to transfer a licence or assignment in the meantime they are required to apply for renewal of their accreditation before they may do so.
