My question is about driving to obtain RWC. 

I'm assuming that a RWC is what we call a pink slip here in NSW and is a prerequisite for CTP and registration?

If you can't go get a RWC and covid restrictions are lifted in, say, a month and your rego exipres in the meantime, you couldn't then drive an unregistered and uninsured vehicle to go obtain that RWC/go to work etc. :blink:

If your rego expires and you pay it within 3 months I think you’re OK.  But check that with VicRoads  

Otherwise you can get an unregistered vehicle permit (on line) that allows you to drive to get RWC or work done for it.

Coronavirus: Revised vehicle service arrangements

25 AUGUST 2020

The State Government has revised its guidance regarding service arrangements for vehicles undergoing urgent repairs.

Following widespread industry concern and confusion in regard to vehicle servicing under Stage 4 restrictions, the Victorian Government has now confirmed:

Routine maintenance is not permitted, but where urgent vehicle repairs are being undertaken, other maintenance and servicing can also be completed at this time to keep the vehicle roadworthy. Product recalls or repairs are permitted as this relates to ensuring safety.

Consequently, VACC is advising members that:

  • Any vehicle, be it from a Permitted Workplace or from a member of the public, that requires an urgent repair can also be serviced, at the same time. Other maintenance and service to keep the same vehicle ‘roadworthy’ is also permitted. The repairer needs to apply their interpretation and discretion based on the different situation that each vehicle presents
  • There is no change here for Licensed Vehicle Testers, they can still complete roadworthy inspections on any vehicle and undertake work to make the vehicle roadworthy following an inspection
  • A service can be completed where a vehicle is in a workshop for a recall
  • Repair and maintenance of vehicles from Permitted Workplaces is still allowed and this includes servicing where it is essential and critical.

The government update comes after VACC CEO, Geoff Gwilym wrote to the Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, advising that VACC considered any vehicle requiring essential and critical repairs should also be permitted to have a logbook service undertaken, if the logbook service was due.

The Chamber will continue to keep members informed of changes to the Victorian Government's COVID-19 business restrictions.
