Journey Management Plan

Product Overview

This Journey Management Plan is a comprehensive, ready-to-use safety document designed specifically for Australian operations where road travel and remote work are part of daily business. It provides a structured, practical framework for planning, approving and monitoring work-related journeys, helping you control risks before your people even start the engine.

Whether you run heavy vehicles in transport and logistics, move crews and contractors to mine and resource sites, manage seasonal travel across farms and stations, coordinate civil construction projects, or organise home visits for disability and aged care clients, this Journey Management Plan gives you a clear, consistent approach to keeping workers and others safe.

Key Features

  • Detailed WHS-focused journey planning procedures, including risk assessment, route selection and approval levels.
  • Specific guidance for high-risk activities such as remote travel, night driving, unsealed roads, heavy vehicles and client transport.
  • Integrated fatigue management controls, including driving time limits, rest breaks and fitness for duty requirements.
  • Clear communication and monitoring requirements, including check-in procedures and escalation for missed contacts.
  • Emergency preparedness guidance for breakdowns, crashes, medical events, bushfire, flood and other critical situations.
  • Industry-tailored considerations for transport and logistics, mining and resources, farming and agriculture, civil construction and earthworks, and disability and aged care.
  • Practical template sections for documenting individual journey plans, risk assessments, communication plans and approvals.

Benefits

  • Strengthens work health and safety systems by addressing one of the most significant risks facing Australian businesses: vehicle-related incidents.
  • Supports WHS compliance with a structured, evidence-based approach to journey planning, monitoring and review.
  • Reduces the likelihood of fatigue-related incidents, remote work emergencies and serious crashes.
  • Saves time for managers and supervisors with a clear, reusable safety documentation framework rather than starting from scratch.
  • Demonstrates due diligence to regulators, clients and insurers through documented risk assessments and approvals.
  • Improves consistency across depots, sites, farms, projects and care teams, regardless of location.

Who is this for?

  • Transport and logistics operators managing local, regional and long-haul freight or passenger movements.
  • Mining and resources companies coordinating light and heavy vehicle movements to and from mine sites and exploration areas.
  • Farming and agricultural businesses with workers travelling across large properties, regional roads and rural communities.
  • Civil construction and earthworks contractors moving crews, plant and materials between project sites.
  • Disability and aged care providers operating community transport, home visit schedules and resident outings.

Legislation & References

This Journey Management Plan is aligned with Australian work health and safety legislation and contemporary WHS risk management principles. It supports your duty to provide safe systems of work, manage remote and isolated work risks, and control hazards associated with driving and vehicle use. Use it alongside your existing WHS policies, fatigue management procedures and vehicle safety systems to build a robust, defensible approach to journey management across your organisation.
