Common Situations

Legal Issues Drivers Face

Common

Bailment & Operator Disputes

Disputes over bailment fees, unlawful deductions, contract terms, or unfair termination. Your bailment agreement should be in writing. TDA can review your agreement and refer you to a specialist transport solicitor.

Urgent

Accreditation Suspension

If Transport for NSW suspends your driver authorisation, you have the right to a review and appeal. Act immediately — time limits apply. TDA can assist with understanding the process and connecting you with legal representation.

Workplace

Workers Compensation Claims

If injured while working as a taxi driver, you may be entitled to workers compensation through iCare NSW regardless of your contractor status in some circumstances. TDA guides members through the claims process.

Wages

Underpayment & Wage Disputes

If your operator has withheld earnings or made unlawful deductions, you may have a claim under contract law. TDA assists members in documenting disputes and lodging complaints with the relevant authority.
