SERIOUS

MISCONDUCT

by drivers

QUEENSLAND

NEWS

If a booking entity (BEA) ends a work
arrangement with a driver due to serious
misconduct, the BEA must let TMR know
immediately.
Here's how:
1. Fill out the Notification of Driver
Disaffiliation form. Give as much
information as you can. This will help avoid
double handling.
2. Send the completed form to regional_
operations@translink.com.au.
Reasons for disaffiliation include, if the
driver:

• committed a driver disqualifying
offence
• did not provide a public passenger
service safely while driving a motor
vehicle
• committed an offence against a
provision of relevant transport
legislation relating to using a motor
vehicle, such as the driver providing
an unauthorised taxi or booked hire
service, or
• was a threat to the safety of any
person, particularly a child or other
vulnerable member of the community.
If you end a working arrangement for other
minor matters, for example, if the driver
isn't meeting customer service standards,
you don't need to notify the department.
