Monthly returns

Monthly returns provide information on activity undertaken under the operator’s Notice of Accreditation, including:

• Number of rail safety workers;
• Drug and alcohol testing activity;
• Number of interfaces with other rail transport operators;
• Number of kilometres travelled by trains;
• Passenger journeys/passenger kilometres.

This data is used to monitor trends and safety implications, and for the calculation of annual accreditation fees.

Monthly returns must be submitted via the ONRSR Portal no later than the 21st day of the following month.

Using the portal, operators that are accredited to operate in more than one state / territory will see a separate Monthly Return tab for each state/territory, and each of these must be completed.
