This short online course is designed specifically for people who already have a baseline understanding of CoR and need to update their knowledge.

It covers only what changed from 1 August 2026 — not the full CoR framework. You will gain a sound understanding of the four structural changes introduced by the amended HVNL, what they mean for your role, and how to demonstrate compliance under the new primary duty standard.

This course is suitable for all CoR parties across the transport and logistics sector. It is built from primary sources including the NHVR, the NTC, and the amended HVNL, and is designed to form part of your primary duty evidence trail.

• Heavy vehicle drivers operating under standard hours, the old basic fatigue management or advanced fatigue management provisions, and the new Alternative Compliance Hours (ACH)
• Transport operators and owner-operators responsible for vehicle compliance, driver management and Safety Management System (SMS) obligations under the 2026 HVNL amendments
• Logistics coordinators, schedulers and dispatchers whose decisions affect driver hours, speed and load requirements — and whose functions may make them CoR parties under the amended law regardless of job title
• Loaders and yard workers involved in the preparation, loading or restraint of freight, including those with load restraint documentation obligations under the new SMS framework
• Supervisors and fleet managers with CoR obligations under the HVNL, including due diligence duties under section 26D for executive officers
• Contractors and sub-contractors entering transport supply chains where CoR awareness is a condition of engagement

• The four structural changes introduced by the 2026 HVNL amendments — the new primary duty, the function-based definition of CoR parties, the expanded Unfit to Drive duty, and the mandatory Safety Management System requirement — and why all four applied from 1 August 2026 with no transition period
• The shift from reactive to proactive CoR liability under the new primary duty — including what ‘so far as is reasonably practicable’ (SFAIRP) means in a heavy vehicle context
• How CoR party status is determined by the functions you perform — not your job title or contract — and why roles including procurement managers, warehouse team leaders and operations coordinators may hold CoR duties under the amended law without previously having recognised it
• The expanded Unfit to Drive duty — how it extends well beyond fatigue and what this means for the pre-departure fitness processes of schedulers, managers and operators
• What changed in fatigue record-keeping from 1 August 2026 — including updates to the Written Work Diary (WWD), the new Alternative Compliance Hours (ACH) terminology replacing BFM and AFM under the new Heavy Vehicle Accreditation (HVA) scheme
• The mass limit changes that took effect on 1 August 2026 — including the increase to General Mass Limits (GML), the removal of the Concessional Mass Limit (CML) accreditation category, and why mass compliance is now audited as part of your whole-of-business Safety Management System rather than as a standalone module
• How load restraint documentation connects directly to your primary duty evidence obligations under the new framework
• The transition from NHVAS to the new Heavy Vehicle Accreditation (HVA) scheme — including the two-tier structure (General Safety Accreditation and Alternative Compliance Accreditation), and how your Safety Management System forms the foundation of your CoR compliance evidence for both accredited operators and all other CoR parties
