2022 Review of the Transport Standards – public consultation now open

Public consultation for the 2022 Review of the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (Transport Standards) is open to 30 June 2023.

• The discussion paper can be viewed at infrastructure.gov.au/transport-standards-review.

The discussion paper is available now to maximise the time for public consultation, however please note that there will be a broader communications campaign to promote the Review in early-January to support engagement.

• This will include further information about public consultation events and additional consultation resources such as translations.

The 2022 Review is part of a statutory requirement to review the efficiency and effectiveness of the Transport Standards every 5 years and is separate to the consultations held earlier this year on potential ways to modernise the Transport Standards.

The Review must:

• report on the effectiveness and efficiency of the Transport Standards
• report on whether discrimination has been removed as far as possible
• include any necessary amendments to the Transport Standards.

Further information about the 2022 Review can be viewed at infrastructure.gov.au/transport-standards-review.
