The Road Transport (Long Distance Operations) Award 2020 applies to employers throughout Australia in the private transport industry engaged in long distance operations and their employees, to the exclusion of any other Modern Award.
A “long distance operation” means any interstate operation, or any return journey where the distance travelled exceeds 500 kilometres and the operation involves a vehicle moving livestock or materials whether in a raw or manufactured state from a principal point of commencement to a principal point of destination.
An area within a radius of 32 kilometres from the GPO of a capital city will be deemed to be the capital city.
