In Queensland, an RWC is called a Safety Certificate—same paperwork, fancier name.
Expect to pay around $85–$100 for cars and light commercials, about $55–$70 for motorcycles, and roughly $40–$60 for trailers/caravans; the state caps the fee and nudges it with CPI.
Mobile inspectors may tack on a call-out fee, and remote areas can cost a smidge more because time and fuel aren’t imaginary.
For private sales, it’s valid for 2 months or 2,000 km (whichever comes first), while dealers typically get 3 months or 1,000 km.
It certifies roadworthy condition on the day—so still give the car a proper once-over unless you enjoy surprise expenses.
