Departmental Pool Vehicle Procedures
Introduction
All users of departmental pool vehicles in the School of Biological Sciences (SoBS)
are bound by the conditions outlined jointly by the University of Sydney WHS
guidelines for Use of Vehicles and the SoBS vehicle procedures document you are
currently reading.
As users of the school vehicle fleet, the onus is on the user to ensure that
appropriate care is taken while using a vehicle; the vehicle will be returned clean both
internally and externally, and that all faults or damage are reported promptly to the
Resources Officer to ensure vehicles are maintained at the appropriate standard.
Please note that failure to comply with the above documents may result in loss of
vehicle use rights. Remember that the fleet is a privilege, not a right.

2.
Who can drive
o School staff, postgraduate students and honours students are eligible to use
the School’s vehicles.
o Other drivers such as visitors, honorary appointments and volunteers need to
be authorised by the School before they can drive. They will need to show
their licence to and gain written permission from the Resources Officer,
Resources Manager or the Head of School. See the non-university employee
driver requirements for more details.
Who cannot drive
o Drivers holding a Learner’s permit or a red Provisional license are not
authorised to operate a University owned vehicle. This requirement extends
to immediate family members and/or specifically approved persons.
International Drivers
o Drivers holding an international driver licence must have and provide a
permanent address of residence for the purpose of processing roads and
traffic infringements for the State Debt Recovery Office.
o All international drivers must read the Roads and Maritime Service (RMS)
Guide for International Drivers.
o If you are not an Australian citizen or a permanent resident of Australia you
are considered to be a temporary overseas visitor. You do not have to get a
NSW driver licence but can do so once you have been in Australia for 6
months.
o Drivers holding International licences not written in English must by law carry
a translation booklet at all times whilst operating a vehicle on Australian
roads. Refer to the RMS website for a list of accepted translation providers.
o If you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident who has moved to
NSW from interstate or overseas you can use your existing licence for up to
three months, after which you must have a NSW licence in order to drive a
vehicle. Visit the RMS website for more details.
Gaining Access
o To gain access to the car booking system, contact the Resources Officer.
o By doing so, you are declaring that you have read, understood and will follow
the conditions outlined by the University WHS guidelines for Use of Vehicles
and the SoBS vehicle procedures document you are currently reading.
Passengers in School Vehicles
□
□
□
In addition to authorised drivers, the Head of School has issued a blanket
authorisation for the following people to travel as passengers:
o undergraduate students
o visiting scholars
o volunteers who are formally registered with the School.
Permission must be obtained to carry other passengers in School departmental pool
vehicles. The Resources Officer, Resources Manager or the Head of School may
give this permission.
All non-staff members must have an accident insurance cover valid for the period in
which they travel in the School's vehicles.
3. Driver Training
All vehicle users engaged in field work must conduct a risk assessment of vehicle use and
seek appropriate driver training if required by the risk assessment. Driver training is
Revised May. 2014

School of Biological Sciences
Pool Vehicle Procedures
recommended for inexperienced drivers wanting to drive large vehicles, and drivers wanting
to drive off-road. The costs of driver training are funded by the lab group to which the driver
belongs.
□
□
General training:
o “National Driver Education” conducts Low Risk Driving Courses at a site near
Richmond. This is useful for drivers who are inexperienced in the type of
driving required at work, e.g. city driving, country driving, driving large
vehicles and driving on dirt roads.
o For directions on how to get to the NDE training site, follow this link.
Off-road training
o You are free to undertake off-road training with any accredited company.
‘Australian 4x4 Driver Training’ in Lithgow, has been used by SoBS in the
past and has received positive feedback.
4. Cost of vehicle use
Users of School vehicles are charged a fee which covers the cost of fuel, mechanical
servicing, repairs, insurance, registration and toll charges. This does not cover cleaning,
which is the responsibility of the user.
□
□
□
□
Users will be charged $5/hr., (capped at $25 a day), and 30c/km. Late cancellations
will be charged $5/hr. (capped at $25).
User charges are constantly under review and are subject to change. Any changes
will be advertised to School members via email.
When making a booking, make sure your RC/Project code is entered in the “Booking
Cost Centre” section of the booking page. If you always use the same account, you
can enter your RC/Project code in the “Booking Cost Centre” section of the “My
Profile” page.
The “Estimated Charge” given by the SmartFleet booking system is not in line with
our charges so should be ignored.

Tolls
o
All vehicles are supplied with a Caltex StarCard, a fuel credit card, which is
valid at most Caltex and Ampol petrol stations. Within the metropolitan area
we are obliged to use the StarCard.
Some vehicles have a Fleet Card as well. This is a fuel card which is valid at
all petrol stations. It can only be used when the vehicle is outside the
metropolitan area and a Caltex service station is inaccessible. If you think
you will need a Fleet Card on your trip, contact the Resources Officer.
If your vehicle has ¼ of a tank of fuel or less, you must fill it up before
returning it.
Our 4WD utility vehicles (Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger) use diesel fuel. If
you add the wrong fuel to a vehicle, do not drive it. Call SmartFleet
Management Services (1800 932 353) and inform them of the problem. The
fuel tank will have to be drained.
All other vehicles use the cheapest unleaded petrol (usually E10). They will
not be accepted for premium fuels.
After pumping fuel, you must take the fuel card to the counter to be swiped
then enter the current odometer reading and the PIN number 2006.
Petrol stations near to Camperdown are marked on the map in Appendix 1.
You can search for petrol stations that accept StarCard online using the
Caltex Locator (select “StarCard Accepted”). The free “Petrol Map” app for
smartphones will find petrol stations near you so search the list for Caltex or
Ampol stations (it will not tell you whether or not they accept StarCard).
All of our vehicles have an e-Tag attached to the inside of the windscreen,
allowing use of automatic toll gates.
Parking
o The driver of the vehicle is responsible for parking legally and paying any
relevant parking fees.
o Within the University of Sydney, you should make every attempt to park in a
“University Vehicles Only” spot. If none are available, park in an unrestricted
spot.
o Free parking permits for University of New South Wales and Macquarie
University are available from the Sydney University Services Building (G12).
These are only available for University owned vehicles.
Navigation
o Each vehicle contains a universal phone cradle (40mm-120mm).
o Vehicles do not contain street directories or GPS systems. If you require
these items, you will have to bring your own. Some lab groups do keep these
items for the use of their members.
Security
o Make sure you lock the vehicle when it is unattended.
o Personal property belonging to drivers and/or passengers which is damaged
or stolen whilst being conveyed in a vehicle is not covered by insurance.
9. Roadside Assistance and Repairs
There is a Car Safety Kit (look for the red case) in every car which includes a high visibility
safety triangle and safety vest. These can be used to make you more visible, particularly
when you are broken down at night, on a narrow verge or beside a busy road (e.g. beside a
highway with no stopping bay).
There is a University Driver Guide in the glove box of every car.
□

Vehicle damage should also be reported online when completing your vehicle
booking, at the same time as entering your odometer readings. This is for
record keeping purposes and does not negate the need to report damage
directly to the Resources Officer.
Insurance claims
o To lodge an insurance claim, the driver needs to complete a University of
Sydney Motor Vehicle insurance claim form and submit it to the Resources
Officer within two business days of the accident.
o If the Resources Officer is unavailable, submit the Insurance Claim form to
the SmartFleet Manager or SmartFleet Assistant.
o A police report must be lodged if your vehicle was towed away and/or
damage to a third party's property (e.g. house, fence) has occurred.
o Any insurance claims relating to School vehicles will not have any effect on
your private vehicle insurance.
o Personal property belonging to drivers and/or passengers which is damaged
or stolen whilst being conveyed in a vehicle is not covered by insurance.
o If you are charged by the police after a claim form has been lodged, you must
notify the Resources Officer and CGU Insurance (ph. 1300 308 124) (quoting
the registration and claim number).
11. Traffic Offences
The actual driver of the University vehicle shall be personally liable for all traffic infringements,
speed camera violations, red-light camera violations, parking infringements, tow-away
charges, toll charges (except those covered by a University issued and fitted eTag) which
may be levied on any University vehicle whilst it is under their control.
All such infringements will be transferred out of the University's name into the infringement
person's name via the statutory declaration requirements from the State Debt Recovery Office
within the timeframe provision.
Assigned driver/custodians shall ensure that adequate records are maintained to identify any
other drivers responsible for infringements incurred. This information must be disclosed to
Fleet Management when required to process infringement statutory declarations, otherwise
the nominated driver/custodian shall be liable to pay all such charges, fines and penalties.
Fleet Management will be responsible for facilitating all infringement processing
requirements.
When requested, the assigned driver/custodian must ensure a completed Driver Licence
Details Form is forwarded to the University's infringement processing Department by the
actual person responsible at the time of the infringement.
