Taxis and Buses - Reporting vehicle alteration/accident

Alterations to a taxi or bus-involvement in an accident must be reported by the taxi or bus vehicle licence holder to the DVA.

Taxi or Bus Licence holders can report vehicle alterations or accident involvement via the DVA online portal.

When logged in, the licence holder should click on the messages link on the top tool bar and select ‘send new message’.

The message should contain the following details:
