Transport (Road Passenger Services) Act 2018

Without limiting section 96, the CEO may refuse to grant a passenger transport driver authorisation if —

the applicant is charged with a disqualification offence; or

the CEO is satisfied that the applicant is not a fit and proper person to be authorised to drive a vehicle for the purpose of transporting passengers for hire or reward.

the applicant has been convicted of a disqualification offence; and

the conviction has not been quashed or set aside; and

the disqualification period prescribed for the purposes of section 118(1) in relation to the disqualification offence has not passed since the conviction.

the physical and mental fitness of the person; and

any approved medical report on the person required by the regulations; and

any other relevant matters.
