An accredited tow truck assistant is authorised to travel in a tow truck while the tow truck is attending a scene of an incident, a police seized vehicle, and when removing a vehicle from private property. They assist the tow truck driver when preparing a motor vehicle for towing and loading the vehicle. They also assist in cleaning up the scene of an incident.
Tow truck assistants are not required to hold a driver licence as they do not drive the tow truck.
