Bus Safety Act 2009

If Safe Transport Victoria grants an application for accreditation under this Part, Safe Transport Victoria must allocate an accreditation number to the accredited bus operator and issue a certificate of accreditation to the accredited bus operator which—

is in the form approved by Safe Transport Victoria; and

specifies the following—

the accreditation number allocated to the accredited bus operator;

the name and contact details of the accredited bus operator;

the name and contact details of the responsible person;

the class of accreditation;

any conditions to which the accreditation is subject;

any additional information that Safe Transport Victoria considers appropriate.

Safe Transport Victoria may, on the application of an accredited bus operator accompanied by any reasonable fee determined by Safe Transport Victoria, issue a replacement certificate of accreditation if Safe Transport Victoria is satisfied, whether on the production of a statutory declaration or otherwise, that the certificate last issued to the accredited bus operator has been lost, stolen or destroyed.

An accredited bus operator who has made an application under subsection (2) on the ground that a certificate has been lost or stolen and who subsequently recovers the lost or stolen certificate must, within 14 days after the day on which the certificate is recovered—

notify Safe Transport Victoria of the recovery; and

return the recovered certificate to Safe Transport Victoria unless informed by Safe Transport Victoria that it is not necessary to do so.
