The second tranche of Western Australia's new laws to regulate the towing industry comes into effect today, aimed at better regulating the operators of towing businesses.

The laws were drafted following a 2022 Towing Industry Consultation Report, which found that bad behaviour was a "major problem" for 85 per cent of consumers.

The first stage of the changes was introduced in 2025 and focused on predatory behaviour at crash sites.

Phase two focuses on towing business operators. From today, towing businesses will have to apply for an authorisation if they want to provide crash towing services.

"We want them to have good character, honesty and integrity to provide those crash towing services out to the community," Michelle Porter, acting director of governance and intelligence at the Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure, said.

Businesses operating in Perth and Peel will have until September 1 to get their registrations if they wish to keep operating.
