How to accept TUSS vouchers

Interstate taxi subsidy vouchers

People who are part of taxi subsidy schemes in different states or territories can use their usual subsidy when they travel in other parts of Australia.

WA taxi drivers are required to always accept interstate vouchers as part of the fare.

To access their subsidy interstate, passengers must request an interstate taxi subsidy voucher from their home state. 

Interstate vouchers are not valid in the state they were issued.

Submitting interstate vouchers for payment

Until 31 December 2025, drivers can submit interstate vouchers to the Voucher Processing Contractor (Black & White Cabs).

From 1 January 2026, drivers must submit any completed interstate subsidy vouchers to their ODBS, and the ODBS will be responsible for passing payments on to their drivers. DTMI will work with relevant ODBSs to understand these changes.
