The new hub, Better Business Hub, aims to protect Australian fleet, transport operators, and drivers by providing interactive, downloadable, applicable tools and resources to support their day-to-day activities.

With the Federal Government’s $300,000 grant administered by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR), NTI developed “Business of Safety” – its first educational content series on the hub. The insurer also supplemented the content series by its in-kind contribution to match the government’s grant.

NHVR chief executive officer Sal Petroccitto said the Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative had so far allocated $22.8 million through 89 separate grants over the past five years.

“Improving heavy vehicle safety and safety for all drivers is the top priority of the NHVR,” Petroccitto said. “I’m delighted we could support the NTI program to develop content and tools which will assist transport operators effect change and build a robust safety culture.”
