VEHICLE CERTIFICATION · BRISBANE & AUSTRALIA-WIDE
Vehicle certification.
We run the whole process.
We confirm the approval pathway, create the engineering and compliance documents, organise testing and inspections, and submit and manage your application.
For manufacturers, workshops, vehicle businesses and owners. Federal approval projects Australia-wide.
Your route to certification
What are you bringing to the road?
Choose your project. See where to start, what the approval is for and what we deliver. You do not need to know the acronym.
Choose an approval below or send your project for a certification review. We confirm the route before the project proceeds.

Are you planning a vehicle project or a workshop?
This guide identifies a starting point. We confirm the applicable pathway after reviewing your vehicle, project and approval history. Federal approvals are issued by the Australian Government. Registration and state certification are separate steps where applicable.
One team. From scope to submission.
01
Confirm the route
We identify the vehicle, intended changes, supply plans and approvals your project needs.
02
Create and organise
We prepare the engineering evidence, approval documents and quality procedures, and organise required testing and inspections.
03
Submit and manage
We lodge the application under your authority and manage technical questions and requests for information.
04
Complete the handover
We provide the project records and explain the approval conditions, production checks and next steps that apply.
What approval does your project need?
| Your project | The approval and why it matters |
|---|---|
| Supply a repeatable vehicle type in Australia | Vehicle Type Approval (VTA) Establish the approved vehicle configurations and compliance basis for ongoing supply. |
| Complete or modify an approved new vehicle before first supply | Second Stage Manufacture (VTA-SSM) Cover the completed configuration and the standards affected by your manufacturing work. |
| Import an eligible specialist or enthusiast vehicle | SEVS + Model Report + RAW Check eligibility, secure the right approval and document the compliance work before import and road use. |
| Operate a workshop carrying out work under the concessional RAW pathway | Registered Automotive Workshop (RAW) approval Establish the workshop systems, capability and approval needed to perform the covered work. |
| Supply a component used in vehicle approval or Model Report work | Component Type Approval (CTA) Create an approved component evidence basis that can be used in relevant vehicle applications. |
| Modify a vehicle already supplied for road use in Queensland | Queensland modification certification Assess the changes and identify the inspection, evidence and modification plate requirements. |
Why businesses commission the certification work
A new vehicle range, a body-building program and an import-compliance workshop have different obligations. We turn your intended outcome into an agreed engineering and application package, coordinate the moving parts and manage the submission.
Engineering is part of the delivery
CAD, scanning and analysis are organised where the certification project needs them. Separate engineering services remain available.
Federal vehicle approval projects Australia-wide. Queensland modification plates within 100 km of Brisbane, or bring your vehicle to Brisbane.
