Basic details so we can start your file. Everything here matches what's on your NSW driver's licence.
To become an eligible Taxi or Rideshare driver in NSW under the Point to Point Regulation, you'll need to meet the criteria below. Check the full criteria here ↗
You'll need to visit our office in person with your physical interstate licence and driving record. Our staff will verify the physical licence card, and you'll receive confirmation via onboarding@sydcabs.au before you can continue applying online. You cannot complete this application without that verification.
Someone we can reach if there's an incident on the road.

The summaries below cover the key points. The full legal text — Driver Obligations, Code of Conduct, Fatigue Management Policy, and Duress Alarm procedure — is in the downloadable contract.
All drivers must comply with Point to Point regulations at all times. SYD CABS can immediately suspend your ID for non-compliance, and the Commissioner can issue penalties. This includes staying logged into the SYD CABS app while on duty, never smoking or vaping in the vehicle, and never touting or soliciting for passengers.
You can access the dispatch system for a maximum of 14 hours within any 24-hour period. Take regular breaks — at least every 2 hours — and never drive while fatigued. Before logging in each shift, you'll confirm you've assessed your own fatigue and are fit to drive.
Zero tolerance for bullying, harassment, or discrimination of any passenger or Stakeholder. Drivers must never refuse an assistance animal — fines of up to $1,110 apply for refusing a passenger with one. Full obligations are in the downloadable contract.
Your in-vehicle tablet has a duress feature — press the red panic button twice to connect to our partnered call centre, who can contact you or arrange emergency services.
Watch the mandatory onboarding video, then answer the questions below — you'll need the correct answer to continue on each one.
1. Is it OK to refuse a fare if the trip is only a short one?
2. Which of the following is an example of good customer service?
3. What is the blood alcohol limit for taxi drivers?
4. If you notice a safety hazard in your vehicle, what should you do?
5. What is a good way to prevent stress and anger?
Last step — a few consents required by Point to Point Transport, then you're done.
