The National Heavy Vehicle Legislation sets the legal foundation for the safe and efficient operation of heavy vehicles across Australia. It is governed by the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and administered by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR). This framework ensures consistency across participating states and territories, helping businesses in transport, logistics and freight manage their obligations with confidence.

Understanding and applying these laws is crucial to reducing risk, maintaining reputation and ensuring the safe movement of goods on Australian roads.
