The Government made a commitment before the last election to review the Road Safety Remuneration System. This review was conducted by Rex Deighton-Smith, of Jaguar Consulting, and was completed in April 2014. 

The review involved examining the available academic literature, safety data and existing regulatory and policy settings. It was also informed by a consultation process. A total of 26 written submissions were received and nine organisations participated in direct consultations. Stakeholders included relevant state and Commonwealth government authorities and departments, academics, industry and employer associations, employee organisations, owner driver representatives and employers/hirers.
