Work Diary Exemption Permit - South Australia

Description

You will need this permit if you are the driver of a fatigue-regulated heavy vehicle and you are unable to fill out a work diary.

A fatigue-regulated heavy vehicle is a:

  • motor vehicle with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of more than 12 tonnes
  • combination with a GVM of more than 12 tonnes
  • bus that is fitted to carry more than 12 people including the driver.

All drivers of fatigue-regulated heavy vehicles need to fill out a work diary. This exemption may be granted only if you have a literacy or print media impairment that makes using the work diary very difficult.

You must carry this exemption permit with you when you are driving.
