Public Transport Ombudsman

The Public Transport Ombudsman (PTO) is an independent office that investigates public transport complaints. The PTO provides fair, free and fast resolutions to public transport disputes and works with its members on systemic complaints to help improve the public transport system in Victoria.

The PTO handles complaints about public transport related issues such as:

service delivery issues such as cancellations, reliability, punctuality and overcrowding;
myki and ticketing issues;
the use of land and premises by operators, including issues such as noise and dust emanating from public transport construction sites;
the condition and accessibility of public transport infrastructure and rolling stock. Examples include stations, station ramps, myki equipment, lifts, stairs, stops, train carriages, trams, buses, signs and passenger information notices; and
the conduct of staff, including Authorised Officers and complaint handling staff.

It can be helpful to provide a way for you to be contacted so that more information can be obtained where needed, or to hear the outcome of your report.

Your details, nature of concerns and any sensitive information it may contain will be handled with confidentially and discretion.

Report misconduct or unethical conduct

If you would like to make a complaint about suspected corruption or unethical behaviour, you can:

Call ‘Speak Up’ - 1300 304 550 (V/Line’s external and independent service).

Public Interest Disclosure Complaints

The Public Interest Disclosures Act 2012 (Vic) applies to the disclosure of improper conduct and corruption in the Victorian public sector (whistleblowers).

V/Line is not authorised to receive public interest disclosures.

Any person who wants to make a public interest disclosure about V/Line or any V/Line employee must make a disclosure to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC).

A disclosure can be made about a public body or public officer, as well as about people who seek to improperly influence public bodies and public officers.

When you make a disclosure to IBAC, it will decide whether a disclosure is a ‘public interest disclosure complaint’ and whether it will investigate the matter, refer the matter to another investigating entity, or back to V/Line for investigation.
