Transport and delivery of cash and valuable goods

This consultation is now closed

Thank you to everyone who gave their feedback. We will share the updated code of practice with you soon.

SafeWork NSW has drafted the new Transport and delivery of cash and valuable goods code of practice.

We are proposing the new code of practice will replace the 2002 Cash in transit code of practice.

Following consultation with stakeholders, we have drafted a new code that better meets modern safety standards and new ways of working. The new code provides information and guidance to make sure risks from transporting cash and valuable goods are managed according to current work health and safety laws.

Tell us what you think

We are asking for your feedback to make sure the new code:

is relevant
is easy to understand
supports current and emerging work practices and technologies.

Your response will help ensure the new code supports industry needs and protects workers and the community.

The survey closed Sunday 21 September 2025.
