address this safety issue.

'co-regulation'. The state regulatory body, Public Transport Safety
Victoria (PTSV), a separate statutory office within the Department
of Infrastructure (DoI), accredits all rail owners/operators in
Victoria, subject to satisfying the accreditation criteria set out
in the Transport Act 1983.
