What is Transport Certification Australia (TCA)?
Transport Certification Australia (TCA) is an Austroads business unit. It plays a vital role in assessing and certifying telematics and vehicle-based technologies. TCA helps Australian and New Zealand transport agencies collect trusted data from vehicles, ensuring that government and industry stakeholders can rely on accurate, verifiable information for improved road safety and efficiency.
TCA’s Role
As the administrator of the National Telematics Framework, TCA standardises and streamlines interactions between government agencies, transport operators, and technology providers. This trusted framework supports a wide range of telematics applications designed to enhance road outcomes and transportation efficiency.
TCA’s Services
TCA offers the following broad categories of service:
- Administration of the National Telematics Framework, including its rules, specifications, agreements, digital infrastructure and other supporting services.
- Assurance services that support but are appropriately separated from regulators, policy makers and enforcement activities, and underpin telematics applications and associated information and data services.
- Advice that is based on evidence and a deep subject matter knowledge.
TCA’s Governance
The Austroads Board works alongside the TCA Board providing governance and strategic direction to TCA, while the Austroads Executive Group (AEG) manages the business.
