Vehicles that are modified, imported or altered in Australia may require an engineering certificate to confirm they meet relevant safety and construction standards for registration. Certification requirements vary between states and territories, with each jurisdiction operating under its own approval framework for modified vehicles.
Gilani Engineering provides vehicle modification, engineering and compliance-focused solutions across Australia. We design and install specialist vehicle upgrades with safety, usability and registration requirements in mind, and certify our own work where authorised under applicable schemes.
Our focus is delivering vehicle modifications that meet recognised safety standards and can be assessed under the appropriate certification framework for each state or territory.
Planning a vehicle modification? Speak with our team early so design, installation and compliance requirements are considered before work begins.

An engineering certificate confirms that a modified or non-standard vehicle has been assessed against applicable safety and construction requirements. This may involve inspection, review of the modification and documentation to support registration.
Engineering review is commonly required where vehicle changes affect safety, structure or occupant protection, including:
Gilani Engineering provides a complete vehicle modification solution with engineering and compliance considered from the beginning. We focus on projects we design and install ourselves so we can maintain control over engineering intent, materials, workmanship and final quality.
This approach helps deliver safer, more consistent outcomes and supports a smoother path toward approval under the relevant certification framework.
We work on a wide range of accessibility and specialist vehicle upgrades across Australia. Depending on the project, this may include:
If you are exploring options, you can also view our vehicle modification services or explore wheelchair access solutions.
Each Australian state and territory has its own vehicle certification framework. While the approval process may vary, the core engineering principles around safety, structural integrity and occupant protection remain consistent across Australia.
Gilani Engineering modifies vehicles nationwide and certifies its own work where authorised, working with customers to ensure the appropriate compliance pathway is followed for their location.
We focus on modifications that we design and install ourselves to maintain full control over safety, engineering integrity and compliance outcomes. By managing the project from concept through to completion, we provide a more consistent and accountable result.
This integrated approach reduces the risk of non-compliance, avoids unnecessary rework and helps ensure the final vehicle is built to meet both functional and regulatory requirements.
Early engineering input is one of the most important steps in any vehicle modification project. It helps identify likely compliance requirements before work begins and reduces the risk of costly changes later.
Vehicles modified without proper guidance may face delays or require rectification work to meet standards. Speaking with an engineer early helps keep the project on track from the beginning.
No. Requirements depend on the type and extent of the modification and how it affects safety, structure or occupant protection. It is best to seek advice before proceeding.
We focus on the work we design and install ourselves so we can maintain quality control and compliance oversight throughout the project.
Yes. Gilani Engineering supports vehicle modification projects nationwide.
Yes. We design and install mobility-related vehicle modifications including wheelchair access systems, seating configurations and related accessibility upgrades.
