VACC members who trade as Licensed Motor Car Traders (LMCT) and who perform registration and transfer functions (providers) using the Dealer Online Partner Portal are invited to attend Session #2 of the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) - VACC LMCT Lunchbox Session. This session will take place on 31 July 2024 at 12.30pm - 1.15pm.

We encourage all LMCT providers to participate in this informative session to stay updated on the latest processes and requirements. This will be a valuable opportunity to engage with DTP teams, gain insights into recent changes, and address any questions or concerns you may have regarding Dealer Certification Scheme (DCS) or Used Car Traders Scheme (UCT).

The Lunch Box Session will run strictly to time (12.30pm - 1.15pm).

About the DTP-VACC Lunchbox Sessions

Session #1 of the DTP - VACC Lunchbox Sessions kicked off on 17 July 2024 with 228 LMCTs in attendance. The focus of Session #1 was on LMCT audit and compliance with the DCS and UCT. LMCT member feedback was glowing regarding the information and tempo of the Session.  You can view Session #1 here

Session #2 is the second in a series of four separate webinars that will take place in two-week intervals from 17 July – 28 August 2024.  The four sessions will address issues of LMCT interests regarding obligations as a provider under your agreement and system. One session will be specifically targeted towards LMCTs who also are accredited to be a Licensed Vehicle Tester (LVT).

The DoT-VACC LMCT Lunchbox Sessions will be available for all Victorian LMCTs.

What will Session # 2 of the DTP-VACC Lunchbox Session focus upon?

Session #2 will feature the Dealer Certification team and the Scheme Manager (Dealers) at the Department of Transport and Planning. Michael will provide a refresher on how to register and transfer vehicles online, using the online systems once dealers have entered the Dealer Certification (DC) or Used Car Trader (UCT) Agreements.  Specifically in Session #2, the DoT team will focus on the following:

Guide on how to register and transfer a vehicle:  An overview how to perform this task.

Navigating where to get more information: Summary of Help Centre and access to various Forms.

Common issues: common errors, pitfalls, partner portal failures and payment issues
