how to get roadworthy

In Australia, a 'roadworthy' (RWC, safety certificate, or pink slip depending on state) is basically a mechanical reality check, not a full spa day for your car.

Book an inspection with a licensed tester or inspection station, fix whatever they circle in red—think tyres, brakes, lights, windscreen, steering/suspension, leaks, and seatbelts—then return for a pass. You’ll get the certificate to use for registration or transfer, plus paperwork and ID as required. Rules and validity windows vary by state, so check your local transport authority, but the dance is the same: inspect, repair, re‑inspect, done. And no, 'she’ll be right' doesn’t count as a compliance standard.
