Electronic Work Diary (Australia)

Overview

Section 343 of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) provides the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) with the authority power to approve electronic recording systems for use as an alternative to the paper-based National Driver Work Diary. Provisions also provide additional powers to monitor EWD performance and to address operational issues.

The HVNL also contains specific amendments to the general fatigue management requirements that reduce red tape by:

  • facilitating the integration of regulatory, fatigue management and commercial systems
  • removing requirements for the handling and storage of paperwork.

The EWD provisions are designed to avoid overly prescriptive or restrictive wording, and facilitate the implementation of technology in a dynamic and progressive environment.

See the TeletracNavman EWD Site for more information.
