Road Transport Act 2013

This section applies if an approved operator is convicted of an offence under a law of this State or another jurisdiction prescribed by the statutory rules for this section (an automatic suspension offence).

The operator approval held by the approved operator is automatically suspended for the period prescribed by the statutory rules for the automatic suspension offence.

As soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of the automatic suspension of an operator approval, Transport for NSW must—

give the operator written notice of the suspension, and

notify relevant authorities of the suspension, and

publish notice of the suspension on the operators register.

The statutory rules may prescribe—

different automatic suspension offences for different categories of approved operators, and

circumstances in which an offence is or is not an automatic suspension offence.
