5. Is accreditation required for all individuals who will be driving the public passenger bus service or is it only required for the company which then covers all employees working under the company?

Accreditation covers employees under the accredited company. Employees of accredited companies are not required to hold accreditation individually. The following applies to operators not individual drivers.

• Under the Passenger Transport Act 1990, all operators of public passenger bus services must be accredited to be able to provide services legally in NSW, unless otherwise specified by Transport for NSW.
• Operators can make an application for an operator accreditation in their own name, in partnership or a company name.
• The course must be completed by anyone wishing to be an operator. They can be their own owner driver/operator as an individual or they can do the course as a designated manager for a company.
