Transport Certification Australia (TCA)

GlossaryUpdated 10 July 2026

Transport Certification Australia is the national body that certifies telematics providers and administers the National Telematics Framework, including the IAP, TMA and RIM schemes.

When a road manager or regulator needs to trust telematics data, TCA is who provides that assurance: it type-approves devices, certifies and registers service providers, and operates the framework the schemes run on.

For a fleet, the practical question is whether your telematics provider holds the TCA status your access scheme requires. IntelliTrac is TCA-registered for Road Infrastructure Management.
