Advice for drivers facing Covid-19 income crisis

30/3/2020

The outbreak of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has had a huge impact on the travel industry all around Australia. Due to strict Government restrictions, the CPV industry is now restricted from international pick ups and there is little to no domestic flights nationally. The TAA is working with state and federal governments for support packages for the personalised transport industry.
Like other industries, income has dropped significantly for drivers and operators. While some of the major taxi stakeholders have reduced or deferred fees, many drivers and operators are paying while not earning an income. TAA is putting pressure on networks to support drivers during this time and keep vehicles on the roads.

If you are unable to register with Centrelink to see if you are eligible for jobseeker, newstart or family support payments - register your intention to claim at my.gov.au.

Drivers may qualify for small business assistance - speak with your account and for more information on what assistance is available to you please go to Services Australia website at https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/subjects/affected-coronavirus-covid-19.

While the commercial passenger vehicle and personalised transport industry is considered an essential service, with many of the population self isolating, there is very little booked work. When there is work, drivers need to ensure they are keeping informed with the latest news, actions and responsibilities required to keep them and their passengers safe.

You can set the standard for cleanliness in your taxi or personalised transport service with our new, free online course on hygiene best practice during COVID-19. The course takes an hour to complete online and will answer all your questions about COVID-19.

Former CPVAA president Rod Barton, now state member for Eastern Metro Melbourne, has released a checklist action plan for drivers and operators during this time. Download a copy at https://rodbarton.com.au/action-plan-for-cpv/
