About the project

Project overview

A recent review of the HVNL by the National Transport Commission (NTC) has resulted in the HVNL Amendment Bill 2025 and the Heavy Vehicle National Amendment Regulations 2025. The amended act and regulations, commencing mid-2026, introduce revised fatigue management requirements designed to improve safety, productivity, and regulatory efficiency while simplifying administrative processes.

Implementation of the new regulations will be led by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR), ensuring they are practical, clearly communicated, and consistently applied to enhance safety for all road users. More information about implementation can be found on the NHVR website.

In response to a request from the NHVR, ISA will update the following Units of Competency to reflect the amended fatigue requirements:

  • TLIF0005 – Apply a Fatigue Risk Management System
  • TLIF0006 – Administer a Fatigue Risk Management System

In addition to the unit updates, ISA will also develop learning and assessment resources to support the consistent delivery of these units.

Why this matters

What it means for industry

This project will ensure fatigue management training remains aligned with upcoming changes to the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), helping industry prepare for the new regulatory requirements commencing in 2026. By updating key fatigue management units and developing supporting learning and assessment resources, the project will provide operators, drivers, and trainers with clear, nationally consistent training that supports compliance, improves safety outcomes, and promotes effective fatigue risk management across the heavy vehicle industry.

Project

What will be delivered

This project will review:

  • 2 Units of Competency

This project will also:

  • develop learning and assessment resources for the two units
  • update the TLI Companion Volume Implementation Guide.
  • produce a mapping document of changes
  • update any out-of-scope products affected by the changed training products.
  • deliver a webinar to support implementation of the revised training products and resources.

How this will be achieved

To guide this work, a Technical Committee of subject matter experts will be established.

Industry Skills Australia (ISA) will engage with stakeholders throughout the life of the project and consider all ideas, opinions, and feedback to the revised training products to ensure they meet the needs of NHVR, industry and RTOs. A consultation log containing a high-level summary of all feedback and ISA’s response will be maintained and available on our website.

ISA will facilitate a webinar following endorsement of the training products to support stakeholders in understanding the changes and to provide advice on implementation.

Draft Training Products

Existing training products related to fatigue management compliance have been reviewed and updated to reflect changes to Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL). Industry Skills Australia (ISA) would like your feedback on the draft products.

Why This Matters

A recent review of the HVNL by the National Transport Commission (NTC) has resulted in the HVNL Amendment Bill 2025 and the Heavy Vehicle National Amendment Regulations 2025. The amendment act and regulations, commencing mid 2026, introduce revised fatigue management requirements designed to improve safety, productivity, and regulatory efficiency while simplifying administrative processes.

Implementation of the new regulations will be led by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR), ensuring they are practical, clearly communicated, and consistently applied to enhance safety for all road users. More information about implementation can be found on the NHVR website.

In response to a request from the NHVR, ISA has updated the following Units of Competency to reflect the amended fatigue requirements:

  • TLIF0030 – Apply a Fatigue Risk Management System (current code TLIF0005)
  • TLIF0031 – Administer a Fatigue Risk Management System (current code TLIF0006)

Further information is available on the project page about how and when these units will be updated in the qualifications they appear in.

We’re Seeking Your Feedback

Industry Skills Australia invites you to review and provide input on the draft training products.

Your insights are valuable. Help implementation of the revised fatigue management requirements by sharing your feedback on the draft materials.

Updating qualifications the units appear in

One of the two units appear as a General Elective in the following Qualifications and Skill Set. A minor update (qualification codes will not change) of these qualifications will be completed as part of Release 17.0 of the TLI Training Package.
