In Queensland it’s called a Safety Certificate (the old RWC), and the inspection fee for a typical light vehicle is usually around AUD $90. Motorbikes are typically around $60, and light trailers roughly $45–$50, with mobile inspectors often adding a call‑out fee (think $30–$80). Prices are regulated, but stations can charge extras for things like a reinspection or coming to you, so ask before you book. If the car needs fixes, that’s on top—no magic wand, just a spanner and a bill. For private sales the certificate is valid for a short window, so time it close to when you list to avoid paying twice.
