We couldn’t read VicRoads’ or South Australia’s official pages when we checked in October 2026, so Victoria and SA aren’t covered here. Tasmania, the ACT and the NT aren’t covered either. If you live there, check your own state or territory’s transport website.

When you pay

In NSW you pay when you book online. In Queensland you pay before you’re given access to the online test. In WA you pay at the service centre on the day.
