Free rego is a great incentive for apprentices to help with rising transport costs. Normailly costs up to $877. Stay safe, and enjoy :)
You are eligible if:
- you are an apprentice registered with the VRQA, or a Victorian apprentice who is undertaking an apprenticeship in South Australia or New South Wales.
- you are currently employed in an approved training scheme.
- you are using your own car, ute or van for approved work purposes, or you regularly use it to get to or from work between 8:30 pm and 5:30 am. The vehicle cannot exceed 4.5 tonnes GVM.
- you hold a current Victorian driver licence (not a learner permit).
- you are a Victorian resident.
- you've received your registration or renewal notice.
How to apply:
- When your next rego renewal notice arrives, jump on the VicRoads website to apply for the discount. You will need your VRQA registration number, vehicle registration number, and driver licence number. VicRoads will check your details with your employer, so make sure your employer supports your application before you apply.
You can’t apply for this discount if:
- you are a learner driver.
- your licence is expired, cancelled or suspended.
- your vehicle is registered in someone else’s name.
- you have an apprenticeship discount already applied on another vehicle registered in your name.
Note: You may have another vehicle registered in your name with another concession type. (e.g. Health Care Card).
Coming here to say the same thing… well.. except the second line. Have this argument with a relative all the time. He speaks of his low paid apprenticeship but i rebut with having to work somewhere else unrelated to my future career whilst accruing a hecs debt.
