Objectives

The Code provides guidance for the development of a family assistance plan by all regular public transport (RPT) and charter operators providing passenger services to, from or within Australia. A written assurance is sought by the Department from all applicable operators that such a plan has been developed, and arrangements central to the operation of the plan are in place.
