How to lodge your application

If you renew your licence online, you’ll receive a discount of 10% or $5 – whichever is greater. The fee tables show the discounted total for renewing online.
How fees are calculated
Fee amounts are valid for the 2026-27 financial year. Fees may increase in line with CPI at the start of each financial year. The updated fee amounts will apply when you next renew your licence.
Most fees include a non-refundable processing fee. If you receive a refund because your application is refused or withdrawn, the refund will not include the processing fee.
