General Information
The Western Australian Pilots Code of Conduct has been developed through an extensive process that has involved industry consultation and a public comment process.
Thank you to those who participated in the review of the Pilots Code of Conduct. The public comment period has closed and the committee will continue with the implementation of the review.
The WA Pilots Code of Conduct will be submitted to the current government for their endorsement. Once the code has been endorsed the Pilots Code of Conduct will be reinstated.
During this process and up until the reviewed code is released there are no changes to the current requirements.

Four-day courses for Accredited Pilots/Authorised Persons are conducted monthly. Courses include theory and practical traffic management module.
Interstate pilots requiring Authorised Persons status must complete the Traffic Theory and Practical Management module at any of the three training providers.
An accredited pilot is an Authorised Person who has successfully completed a training course in the pilotage of oversize vehicles, and whose training has been endorsed by the Commissioner of Police.
Training is coordinated by the following authorised trainers in Western Australia.
Once completed, the training provider will forward details of the successful pilots to the Commissioner of Police for authorisation. The Commissioner of Police then forwards this information to Main Roads to arrange gazettal and maintenance of the Pilots' Register.

Pilot and escorts no longer need to notify us of their change of details. We will continue to register initial police approvals and arrange for publication in the government gazette. Information regarding approval numbers, training providers and training dates will be kept for future reference.
