cost of rwc in victoria

In Victoria, a Certificate of Roadworthiness (RWC) isn’t a set price—licensed testers charge their own rates. For most cars, expect roughly AUD 180–300 for the inspection; bikes can be a bit less, while utes and 4x4s may cost more. Any repairs to make it pass are extra, and a retest fee can apply if it fails the first round. The certificate is typically valid for 30 days for transfer/registration purposes, so don’t let it sit on the fridge. Ring around a few testers, ask what’s included, and turn up with tyres, lights, and leaks sorted to save your wallet and your pride.
