Asking for a ‘pink slip’ in Victoria will get you blank looks; here it’s called a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC).
You typically need one when selling a used car, transferring rego, or bringing a vehicle back onto the road after a defect or lapse—no annual pink-slip-style checks in Vic. An RWC is issued by a Licensed Vehicle Tester and covers basics like tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, lights, windscreen, and structural rust.
Expect to pay about AUD 150–300 for the inspection (repairs are extra if something fails), and the certificate is usually valid for 30 days from issue.
In short: wrong colour, right idea—book an RWC and you’ll be sorted without crossing the border.
