South Australian point-to-point compliance with JollyDrivers

How far JollyDrivers goes towards South Australia's Passenger Transport Act 1994 today — booking service accreditation, driver accreditation, the per-trip levy in metropolitan Adelaide — and what isn't built for South Australia yet.

Checked against the legislation in force on 26 September 2026. This page explains how JollyDrivers works; it is not legal advice. The regulator has the last word.

The rulebook

JollyDrivers has not written a South Australian state pack yet, so this page is general. Check the detail with the Department.

Every step of the way

JollyDrivers' national tools apply here as everywhere: documents with expiry dates and operator approval, one door for every booking, the eligibility check at assignment (it warns rather than refuses today, and has no South Australian document types to check against yet), stage stamps on every trip, the case register, tax invoices in the operator's own Xero, and the booking's full history kept.

The booking business

A business taking bookings for point-to-point passenger services must be accredited, and meet the conditions of its accreditation.

Built The booking record, event history, case register and invoicing work the same here as anywhere. Not built yet No South Australian safety-plan templates. Yours to do Holding the accreditation.

Drivers

Drivers need passenger transport driver accreditation.

Partly built Documents can be stored with expiry dates and approved by the operator, but no South Australian accreditation document type is seeded yet.

Vehicles

Partly built Vehicles carry their own documents and a service log; no South Australian vehicle document types are seeded, and a booking does not yet snapshot which vehicle did the trip.

Safety and fatigue

Built Hours counted from trips across every operator on JollyDrivers, against the driver's own cap, with history reports. Built — switched on by choice The warning when a job would pass the cap.

Incidents and complaints

Built The case register records complaints and incidents on the operator's own books. Not built yet No South Australian notification test or deadline yet.

Records, fares and levies

A levy is payable on point-to-point journeys that start in metropolitan Adelaide. It rose from $1 to $2 on 1 July 2025.

Built Every booking is kept with its full history, and tax invoices go into the operator's own Xero. Not built yet No South Australian levy line and no levy return.

Privacy

Built Operators see only their own bookings, driver documents move only by recorded consent and are encrypted at rest, and privacy requests are tracked. Not built yet No separate consent step before a medical certificate or police check is uploaded.

Where JollyDrivers falls short

  • No South Australian document types, safety-plan templates, course, levy line or notification guidance.
  • The compliance gate warns rather than refuses, and reminders are switched off, as everywhere.

Check it yourself

Operators and drivers can see what JollyDrivers holds at /portal/compliance and /portal/driver/documents. Every change JollyDrivers ships is dated at /releases.

Every state and territory

The same duties land differently across the border. The national picture and the side-by-side table are on the compliance hub.

JollyDrivers is booking and back-office software. It is not an authorised booking entity, booking service provider or transport operator, and it does not hold anybody's authorisation for them: the operator does, and the operator and driver stay accountable for the duties the law gives them. Statements about the law are summaries, checked on the date above against the legislation then in force; legislation changes, and the regulator's own guidance and the in-force text are the authority.
