In NSW, a “pink slip” is the eSafety check, and for a regular car it typically costs about AUD $40–$50 at an authorised inspection station.
Motorcycles and light trailers are usually a bit cheaper, while heavy vehicles cost more—because physics and paperwork both get heavier.
It’s a regulated fee, so stations shouldn’t charge above the cap; you’ll only pay extra if repairs are needed or you’re sent for a different inspection (like a blue slip).
If your rego notice doesn’t ask for one, you don’t need it—save the cash for fuel and a meat pie.
