Basic Fatigue Management (BFM) Course Brisbane
A single day at our Mansfield depot, face to face, covering the
nationally recognised unit behind BFM accreditation for heavy vehicle drivers and
operators.
- Training since 2014

- On-site training available
Basic Fatigue Management is what lets an operation work to more flexible hours than standard limits
allow, and it exists because fatigue is one of the few risks in heavy vehicle operation that reliably
kills people. This course delivers TLIF0005, the nationally recognised unit that sits behind BFM
accreditation under the Heavy Vehicle National Law. It runs face to face in a single day at our
Mansfield depot.

Accreditation
The unit is one part of accreditation, not all of it
This is the point worth being clear about before you book. Completing TLIF0005 is a necessary
requirement for BFM accreditation, but it is not the only one. Accreditation sits with the operator,
not the individual driver, and the NHVR sets additional criteria around systems, records and
scheduling that a training course cannot satisfy on your behalf.
If you are a driver, your employer needs to hold or be seeking accreditation for the unit to be useful
to you. If you are an operator, confirm the full set of requirements with the NHVR before enrolling
your drivers.
Who this course is for
Truck and bus drivers who need the unit for their operator’s BFM accreditation, and
operators putting a fatigue risk management system in place across a fleet.
What it lets an operation do
BFM accreditation allows more flexible work and rest arrangements than standard hours,
provided the operator maintains the required systems and records. The flexibility comes with
obligations attached.
What it does not do
It is not a licence, it does not by itself grant you or your employer accreditation, and it
does not replace the operator’s responsibility to run a compliant fatigue management
system.
Course Content
What the course covers
Understanding fatigue
How fatigue actually develops, why it is difficult to self-assess, the physiological factors
behind it, and why the risk is highest at exactly the times drivers tend to push through.
Work and rest limits
HVNL work and rest hour requirements, how BFM arrangements differ from standard hours, and how
to plan a trip that stays inside the limits.
Recognising and responding
Identifying the signs of fatigue in yourself and in others, and the practical responses
available before it becomes a hazard on the road.
Records and compliance
Work diary requirements, record keeping obligations, what an operator must be able to
demonstrate, and the consequences of getting it wrong.

Feedback
What operators say
I can’t recommend Great Heavy Driving School enough. From day one Nav made me feel welcome
and
confident in my training. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic. Under her
guidance
I was able to pass my practical test on the first go and would be more than happy to return to
complete
other qualifications.
FAQ
Basic Fatigue Management FAQs
No. It gives you a Statement of Attainment for TLIF0005, which is a required
component of BFM accreditation but not the whole thing. Accreditation is held by the
operator and the NHVR sets additional criteria. Confirm the full requirements with
the NHVR before enrolling.

practical driving component.
A Unique Student Identifier is a number required for anyone undertaking nationally
recognised training in Australia. Without one we cannot issue your Statement of
Attainment. You can create a USI free through the Australian Government USI website
before your course date.

operators implementing a fatigue risk management system across a fleet.
The Statement of Attainment for TLIF0005 does not carry an expiry date. Accreditation
