Safe Transport Victoria

The Transport Integration Act 2010 (Vic) established the independent statutory office of the Director, Transport Safety on 1 July 2010 and integrated the former Marine Safety Victoria and Public Transport Safety Victoria to form Transport Safety Victoria. Our primary objective is to seek the highest bus safety and marine safety standards that are reasonably practicable, consistent with the transport system's vision and objectives under the Act. We achieve this by: • Administering bus safety and marine safety legislation • Licensing, registering and accrediting operators and other industry participants • Monitoring the bus safety and marine safety industries' and participants' systems for managing safety risks • Monitoring compliance with bus safety and marine safety legislation • Taking enforcement action as appropriate to promote safety outcomes in Victoria.
