In Australia, transport compliance is regulated by various bodies depending on the mode of transportation. For road transport, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) and state/territory road agencies are responsible. For aviation, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) oversees compliance, and for maritime transport, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is the regulatory authority.

The NHVR is responsible for regulating heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonnes gross vehicle mass (GVM) in participating states and territories. They enforce laws related to vehicle standards, driver fatigue, mass and dimension limits, and more.

Transport compliance covers a range of aspects including vehicle safety standards, driver licensing and qualifications, roadworthiness inspections, load restraint requirements, hours of service regulations, dangerous goods transportation, and more
