Training in fatigue risk management

The content on this page includes amendments due to changes to the Heavy Vehicle National Law and Regulations that commenced on 1 August 2026. For more information, please see HVNL reform implementation.

TLIF0030 and TLIF0031 will become available through RTOs across 2026-2027. Alternative equivalent units remain valid and recognised for accreditation purposes.

Heavy vehicle operators with Alternative Compliance Accreditation (ACA) – Fatigue, or operating under legacy fatigue accreditation modules of the National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme (NHVAS), are required to ensure their drivers, schedulers, supervisors and managers hold the relevant fatigue units of competency offered by an NHVR approved Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

Fatigue units of competency

The fatigue units of competency provide drivers, schedulers, supervisors and managers with information critical to effectively manage the risk of fatigue in road transport operations.

All drivers or schedulers who have previously completed the alternative equivalent units listed in Table 1 do not need to complete the new courses. Courses completed prior to 1 August 2026 will continue to be recognised; however, undertaking the new required units as refresher training is recommended.
