NTC External Resources
To access information about the regulation changes and the tools for industry, the NTC has published their 'External Resources' Page. This page provides a variety of tools and aids that may provide benefit to your company in the transition and on-going  operation of your business of the new regulations which come into force 29th September 2008. This 'External Resources' page is linked to http://fms08.burgewood.com.au/FAQs.htm
 
FMS Comparitor provides operators to review their current driving hour practices and compare them to the future regulations. FMS Comparitor's objective is to give operators time to review and re-organise their schedules and rosters well in advance of the actual change. Depending on your companies structure, you may find it beneficial to transfer your driver's TFMS status to BFM - or not. FMS Comparitor will aid that type of decision making process.
 
The benefits of FMS Comparitor (http://fms08.burgewood.com.au/fmscomp.htm)
