Resources

The AAVT Resources section provides authoritative guidance, safety information, and industry reference materials to support best practice across Australia’s vertical transport sector.

This section brings together AAVT published content, such as Industry Position Papers, Safety Alerts, and Design Practitioner information, alongside curated external resources and industry links. All materials are developed or selected to support safety, compliance, informed decision-making, and continuous improvement across the lifecycle of vertical transport systems.

While selected information is publicly available, AAVT Members gain access to expanded resources, deeper technical analysis and member-only content developed to support industry leadership, safety and compliance. To access the full suite of AAVT resources, explore membership options here.
