Tasmanian passenger transport compliance with JollyDrivers

How far JollyDrivers goes towards Tasmania's Passenger Transport Services Act 2011 today — operator accreditation for booking services and ride-source platforms, driver certificates and checks — and what isn't built for Tasmania 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 Tasmanian 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 Tasmanian 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

Booking service providers and ride-source platforms need operator accreditation, and an accredited operator must have systems to keep its vehicles registered and safe.

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

Drivers

A ride-sourcing driver needs an ancillary certificate, a police check and working with children registration, and must have no alcohol in their system while carrying passengers.

Partly built The police check and other documents can be stored with expiry dates and approved by the operator, but no Tasmanian ancillary-certificate or working-with-children document type is seeded yet.

Vehicles

Partly built Vehicles carry their own documents and a service log; no Tasmanian 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 Tasmanian notification test or deadline yet.

Records, fares and levies

Built Every booking is kept with its full history, and tax invoices go into the operator's own Xero. Tasmania charges no per-trip levy.

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 Tasmanian document types, safety-plan templates, course 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.
