Telematics Monitoring Application (TMA) Program: A Smarter Way to Access Roads
The Telematics Monitoring Application (TMA) program and its associated schemes are designed to create a balance between businesses and road managers. By enhancing both productivity and safety, the TMA program improves how roads are accessed and utilized.
If you’re already a Netcorp customer, you might already have the technology needed to participate in the TMA program. Your Netcorp account manager, can help you determine your eligibility.

What is TMA?
The Telematics Monitoring Application (TMA) is a monitoring scheme run by Transport Certification Australia (TCA). It provides a cost-effective and flexible way to manage heavy vehicle access using telematics technology. Unlike more rigid systems, TMA is designed for lower-risk activities that still require monitoring, making it a valuable tool for a wider range of transport businesses looking to benefit from Higher Mass Limits (HML).
TMA monitors key parameters, including:
Vehicle location
Time of operation
Vehicle identity
Optional features, such as mass monitoring (via Smart OBM systems) and vehicle configuration tracking
Why Was TMA Created?
On April 2, 2020, a new Higher Mass Limits (HML) Notice (New South Wales Higher Mass Limits Declaration 2020) came into effect. This notice requires vehicles operating at HML to be enrolled in either:
The Intelligent Access Program (IAP), or
The Telematics Monitoring Application (TMA)
A 2019 review by Transport for NSW found that HML operations now pose a lower risk due to widespread infrastructure upgrades over the past decade. As a result, vehicles operating at HML no longer require the high-assurance monitoring provided by the IAP.
However, the IAP will still be required for higher-risk access arrangements in New South Wales and will continue to be used for HML vehicles in Queensland.
How Can the TMA Program Benefit You?
The TMA program provides a structured yet adaptable solution for businesses needing to demonstrate compliance to road managers. Whether for access approval or payload requirements, TMA offers a flexible entry point into a managed environment for transport operators.
State-Specific TMA Schemes
Through the TMA program, transport operators can gain access to specific state-based schemes that enhance efficiency and compliance.
