2022 Review of the Transport Standards – public consultation now open

2022 Review of the Transport Standards – public consultation is now open 

Public consultation for the 2022 Review of the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (Transport Standards) is open to 30 June 2023.

The Transport Standards provide requirements for public transport operators and providers to make their services accessible and remove discrimination for people with disability.

Every 5 years, the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, in consultation with the Attorney-General, is required to review the efficiency and effectiveness of the Transport Standards. The review must:

  • report on the effectiveness and efficiency of the Transport Standards

  • report on whether discrimination has been removed as far as possible

  • include any necessary amendments to the Transport Standards.
