TCA is the Australian entity responsible for providing Advice, Accreditation and Administration services for public purpose initiatives involving the use of telematics and related intelligent technologies.

We: 

• Are a ‘cross-cutting’ organisation which works across different policy streams, surface transport modes, and government and industry sectors

• Perform a critical role in supporting the appropriate adoption of telematics and related intelligent technologies – from a whole-of-government perspective – limiting the potential for governments and policy makers from pursuing initiatives which can:

  • Delay progress

  • Create duplication

  • Multiply costs

  • Contribute to a fragmented approach to telematics and related intelligent technologies.

Open Technology Market

TCA’s active management of an open technology market - which focuses on outcomes rather than technology prescription - is central to our purpose, and the delivery of our Key Result Areas. 

Also central to our purpose is TCA’s interaction with three distinct stakeholder groups:

• Producers (government agencies and regulators which set policies and/or manage programs using telematics and related technologies)
  
  
• Providers (which deliver telematics products and services to Consumers)

• Consumers (which use telematics and related intelligent technologies in response to the needs of Producers).
