The laws surrounding GPS tracking in Australia are specific to each state, each having its own version of restrictions or requirements. Please note the below may not be up to date and we reccomend seeking legal advice.

NSW GPS tracking laws

GPS tracking of employees in New South Wales falls under the Workplace Surveillance Act 2005 No 47. This act regulates all forms of tracking surveillance, which includes electronic devices with GPS tracking capabilities. If you have any GPS tracking present in your trailers or fleet vehicles, you must not only inform employees who will operate these vehicles but also display a clear notice on the vehicle to indicate ongoing tracking.

This notification must include:

- The type of surveillance that is ongoing (camera, tracking, etc.)

- When the surveillance will commence and end.

- How the surveillance is operated.

- If the surveillance is continuous or occurs from time to time.

QLD GPS tracking laws

If you are looking to track your company vehicles in Queensland, you won’t have to worry about any laws at the moment. Currently, there is no legal requirement for GPS tracking in QLD, but this could change in future. To protect your business from future changes to GPS laws, we recommend informing your employees of the tracking regardless of the lack of current legislation.

ACT GPS tracking laws

ACT GPS tracking lawsLaws regarding the use of GPS tracking in vehicles in the Australian Capital Territory are very similar to those in NSW and are regulated by the Workplace Privacy Act 2011. They state that you must notify employees ahead of time about the tracking, as well as provide them with information about the type, period, and frequency of tracking.

WA GPS tracking laws

The Surveillance Devices Act 1998 is what you’ll have to keep in mind if you’re based in Western Australia. Tracking your employees when they operate company vehicles is allowed in WA, but only when consent is given from your employees —not just a notification. Tracking employees who have not given permission to be tracked can result in serious repercussions for your business: up to $50,000 in fines for companies, and personal fines of $5000 and/or up to 12 months of jail.

NT GPS tracking laws

In the Northern Territory, GPS tracking laws for businesses are largely similar to those in ACT and NSW. The Surveillance Devices Act 2007 states that illegally tracking employees (without consent or notification) carries a penalty of up to 2 years in jail.

VIC GPS tracking laws

Tracking your business’ vehicles in Victoria is allowed, but again, only when you’ve informed the involved employees and gotten their consent prior to the tracking activity. Fail to do so, and the Surveillance Devices Act 1999 states that your business may face 1200 penalty units ($230,772.00), or a maximum of 2 years in prison and/or a level 7 fine ($39,652.80).

SA GPS tracking laws

South Australia’s laws for GPS tracking fall under the Surveillance Devices Act 2016. Under this act, any tracking devices you use for the purpose of recording the location of your vehicles must be made known and have the consent of the employee operating or travelling with them.
