The industry we represent has gone through many upheavals, changes and ideals over the past decade. The name Commercial Passenger Vehicle Association of Australia (CPVAA) is synonymous with the taxi and hire car industry in Victoria, as the government refers to these vehicles as commercial passenger vehicles.

To keep up-to-date with all that is happening in Victoria and Australia, we have reached out to other States and are now setting up State branches and we feel it necessary to change our name to something more appropriately reflecting all participants in the transport industry.

We asked lawyers from Maurice Blackburn for an industry update on where the case was at. Registered participants in the class action against Uber will receive regular email updates from the lawyers.

The 2019 CPVAA Industry Information Day will be held on 20 September at the Oakleigh Carnegie RSL from 10am.

The CPVAA team recently attended the Industry Implementation Group meeting co-ordinated by Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria (CPVV).  This meeting gives industry stakeholders an opportunity to receive updates on existing issues and learn about new initiatives.

Victoria's commercial passenger vehicle industry is broken and the damage of unfair competition and regulatory reform needs to be addressed, according to Commercial Passenger Vehicle Association of Australia (CPVAA) president André Baruch.
