In Australia, a roadworthy (RWC/safety check) comes from a licensed tester, not your uncle with a torch.
Book an inspection at an authorised workshop or mobile RWC service, bring ID and rego details, and let them check the basics: tyres, brakes, lights, windscreen, steering/suspension, and leaks.
Fix any defects they list, then return for a quick re-inspection—because tape over a warning light isn't engineering.
Expect to pay roughly $60–$200 depending on state and vehicle; the certificate is only valid for a short window and mainly for sale/transfer or re-registration.
Names and rules vary by state (RWC, Safety Certificate, Pink Slip), so check your state authority for exact steps and time limits.
