A roadworthy inspection will consider whether a vehicle meets Queensland's safety standards before it is sold, registered, or used for ride share services (COI). After the completion of a successful inspection, a safety certificate (RWC) is issued, which is a legal requirement in many situations.
Roadworthy inspections can only be conducted by approved inspection stations and licensed operators that provide mobile services like RedBook Inspect and our network of providers.
In Gold Coast, a safety certificate is required in various situations, such as:
Follow these three simple steps to obtain your QLD safety certificate:
If your vehicle doesn’t pass don't worry, you will be given a list of faults that need to be rectified. You have 14 days to complete repairs and return for a re-inspection with the same approved provider.
If your vehicle is unregistered and needs to be driven on the road to travel to a licensed inspection station, you must carry a valid CTP insurance certificate. Additionally, any number plates must be removed from the vehicle, or you risk being fined.
To avoid the hassle of getting a CTP insurance certificate, book a mobile roadworthy inspection from RedBook Inspect and we'll come inspect the vehicle in your driveway or street.
If you operate a rideshare or passenger vehicle, an annual safety inspection is required to ensure the vehicle is roadworthy unless exempt.
