The cost of a roadworthy (RWC) or equivalent depends on your state—because of course it does. In Victoria, expect about AUD $180–$250 for the inspection fee from a licensed tester; repairs to pass are extra (sometimes very extra). In Queensland, a Safety Certificate for a light vehicle is roughly AUD $90 (bikes around AUD $60), and trailers are cheaper. In NSW, the eSafety “pink slip” check is about AUD $40–$45 for eligible vehicles, with any fixes on your tab.
In SA, WA and TAS, a routine roadworthy for private sale generally isn’t required, so the certificate cost is a blissful $0—unless you need inspections for other reasons. ACT requirements can depend on circumstances (age/registration changes), so fees vary. Always confirm current fees with your state authority or a local tester, and budget for remedial work, because something always squeaks when money’s involved.
