Yard Manager/Dealer
The Motor Vehicle Dealers Act (MVDA) requires that a person/s or company engaged in the business of buying or selling of certain vehicles must hold a Dealer's licence.
A Yard Manager is someone employed or engaged by a dealer to manage or supervise the dealer's business of buying and/or selling vehicles.
This legal requirement also includes someone:
- who acts as an agent for others in buying or selling vehicles;
- whose business includes buying vehicles for wrecking;
- who finances the buying of vehicles;
- who engages in the business of auctioning vehicles;
- who is a hire car operator; and
- who operates a car market. (A car market allows private individuals - that is people other than the market operators - to sell their vehicles by private treaty.)
Therefore, anyone who engages in any of these activities must apply for a licence.
Still unsure if you need a license?

Please Note: If you need a Yard Manager/Dealer license and you don't already have a Salesperson License it is highly recommended you attend the Sales person course first before attempting the Yard Manager workshop.
