Ryan,

Jill and I are delegates to the Association Of Motoring Clubs Inc. here in Victoria, Australia.

There is a misnomer that Club Permit is a form of REGISTRATION. This is not the case but is only a PERMIT TO USE AN UNREGISTERED VEHICLE on Victorian roads. If you are stopped by the police you must have the correct paperwork with you at all times or face a large fine and loss of demerit points.

To put a vehicle onto "Club Permit Registration" in Victoria, you have to do the following.

1st. You must be a member of an authorised Club.(Authorised by VicRoads, the AOMC and the Federation of Motoring Clubs.)
The Victorian Military Vehicle Corps Inc. is one such Club.

2nd. The vehicle must be roadworthy.(Either a RWC or an official letter from your club comfirming vehicle safety.)

3rd. The vehicle MUST only be used for Club activities, or for the purpose of repairing or servicing the vehicle in connection with club activities.

4. You must also have proof of ownership, (a receipt for purchase).
and I have heard recently that you also have to supply proof of previous registration in any state in Australia.

This Permit does not limit you to only your Club, you may attend other authorised Clubs' functions under the system, provided you have the documentation from that Authorised Club.(Newsletter etc).

There are SPECIAL USE vouchers available for other uses like family weddings, funerals, extended trips in conjunction with an official club use etc.

There are currently negotiations taking place with Vicroads and the AOMC/FEDERATION to change to a system simular to the South Australian system of a 90 day permit. This is still some way off. Possibly 9-12 months away.


The current cost for Club Permit is $100.40 per year.

This is a precis of the requirements for the permit. All Clubs under the system carry a list of do's and don'ts, and requirements.
Good Luck, Rick
