how much does it cost to get a rwc

Chasing a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) price? Across Australia, expect inspection fees of about AUD $80–$300 for cars and $50–$150 for motorbikes, with bigger utes/4x4s often a tad more.

Repairs to pass aren’t included, and a re-inspection can add $30–$100 if the first go wasn’t a gold star.

For “new” cars, the RWC-equivalent is usually baked into dealer pre-delivery, so no separate hit; for used cars, you’ll pay the inspection fee above plus whatever fixes are needed.

It varies by state (VIC/QLD call it RWC or Safety Certificate; NSW does a pink slip), so ring a licensed tester nearby for a firm number—preferably before the tyres become “artfully bald.”
