​The Department of Transport and Planning charges fees and fines in accordance with all Victorian Government departments.

This includes:

  • fees for services and regulatory purposes, including licensing and registering certain activities
  • fines for improper conduct, and to discourage unlawful behaviour
  • fees and fines are officially set and revised by their relevant legislation.

The Victorian Government has a policy of automatically indexing certain fees and fines each year for inflation to ensure the value of fees and fines is maintained.

Automatic indexation of fees and penalties

The following documents contain lists of the automatically indexed fees and fines which are the responsibility of the department and which contribute to the Victorian Government's consolidated revenue.

The following spreadsheet is current as of 1 July 2022. 

Further fees and fines information is available on the following websites:

An enforcement agency can address minor law breaking by issuing an infringement notice (on-the-spot fine) as an alternative to court prosecution for specified infringement offences.

The maximum court penalty is the maximum amount the court can impose on an offender from 1 July 2021. Infringement fines are lower than the maximum court penalty.

Although the Department has sought to make the lists as accurate and complete as possible, updates and revisions may be necessary.
