May 2022

With all the talk about the upcoming Election, MTA Queensland are in the first stage of our own Election process, with our newest Committee Members to take up their positions in the coming months.

It has been enlightening speaking to members recently as we ramp up our consumer-focused campaign. However, it has become apparent that some members are not capitalising on the full range of benefits at their disposal. Whether it is an insurance review, workplace health and safety audit, an EFTPOS comparison, or any other benefit, our Member Services team is available to assist you and can be contacted at [email protected].

We have also heard of a recent rise in enquiries related to uncollected goods. Specific legal requirements are in place to deal with vehicles left at your business with payment outstanding and thanks to our Legal partners Bennett and Philp, we have an updated summary for members to help you navigate this process.

In other news, Queensland recently passed legislation determining a digital Licence will be recognised as an equivalent form of identification to the physical version. Following a successful trial on the Fraser Coast, which recorded a 94 per cent satisfaction rating, Digital Licencing will be expanded to Townsville later this year, before being launched state-wide in 2023.

And finally, I am happy to announce that we have completed our search for the new Women’s Career Guidance Officer. Leanna Tucker will commence with us in May and will take responsibility of steering our Driving Auto Women’s Career project!
