Well.
In NSW you have to get the car inspected for blue slip.
Unsure about VIC.

Requirements to register a light vehicle in Vic
The registration requirements for a light vehicle are:

you must be over 17 years of age to register a car or truck or 17 years and 9 months of age for a motorcycle or motor trike
you can only register a vehicle in the name of a person or incorporated body (see: Who can register a vehicle)
you must attend an appointment at VicRoads
you will need to attend a vehicle inspection at VicRoads
you must pay registration and number plate fees.

What to take to the appointment:
the vehicle
evidence of identity
evidence of ownership (contract of sale/receipt showing the VIN; engine number; name, address and signature of previous owner; name and address of the new owner). A transfer of registration document is not accepted.
a current Certificate of Roadworthiness
if someone else is attending the appointment on your behalf, they will need a signed letter of authority from you that quotes your Victorian licence number.

But you best bet is to check with Vic Roads!

haha :oops: helps if i actually read the question, there are fee's for getting the inspection/road worthy certificate etc, but they vary from car to car apparently so the best/only way to find out the closest approx cost is by ringing Vic Roads!
