6  Simplified outline of this Part

      This Part provides for the keeping of the Register Approved Vehicles (the RAV) established under section 14 of the Act. Section 24 of the Act requires that a road vehicle must generally be on the RAV before a person may provide it for the first time in Australia. Subsection 5(2) of the Act gives an extended meaning to the concept of 'providing' a road vehicle. However, subsection 24(3) of the Act, in effect, sets out certain circumstances that do not constitute 'providing' a vehicle for these purposes.
      A vehicle is only taken to be on the RAV if all of the information set out in section 8 is entered on the RAV in relation to that vehicle. Information may only be entered on the RAV, or subsequently varied to correct errors, by the Secretary and certain other persons (see sections 9 and 11). The RAV must be made publicly accessible online, and certain information on that register must be available to any person who searches for a particular vehicle by its vehicle identification number. The Minister may make various determinations regarding the form and content of the RAV.
