Special Interest Vehicle Concession Scheme guide

A concession (or restricted registration) is available if you are registering a classic or vintage car, a street rod or a historic vehicle. This concession is based on the vehicle having a very strict and limited road use which is reflected in the reduced fees and compulsory third party insurance premium.

This guide sets out the requirements for concessional registration of vehicles under the scheme and explains the conditions under which the scheme operates. Registered operators of concessionally registered special interest vehicles should be familiar with the conditions of use as outlined in the Special Interest Vehicle Concession Scheme Guide and ensure that anyone driving the vehicle is also familiar with these conditions.

If you are unable to print the guide, a printed copy can be requested by calling the Department of Transport and Main Roads on 13 23 80 or at a transport and motoring customer service centre.
