Crash Towing Industry Reforms
Find out more about the crash towing industry reforms.
In 2022, the Ministers for Transport and Commerce announced the Government’s intention to reform the towing industry to protect people involved in traffic accidents and combat bad behaviour and price gouging.
This announcement followed community and industry consultation about options for reforming Western Australia’s towing industry undertaken by Consumer Protection in 2020 and outlined in the Accident towing industry consultation report.
In 2022, responsibility for developing the regulatory framework and executing crash towing industry reforms was moved to the Department of Transport (DoT).
The regulatory framework developed by DoT is set out in the Decision Regulatory Impact Statement - Proposal for the Regulation of the Crash Towing Industry in Western Australia.
