Wow I am trying to register a car bought for my fathers birthday. I live in NSW he lives in Victoria. I have organised the Vic Roadworthy, completed all of the required documents and the authority to act on his behalf so I can complete the gift by organising plates and rego for him. That side of the process took me 24 hours. Now in NSW all that is left is a simple trip down to RMS after a small wait I give them the completed documentation and some money (admittedly lots of money) and they give me the number plates. (I just assumed I could follow the same process in Victoria).
However at with VicRoads. I need to make an appointment. Which despite having a VicRoads authority to act on my fathers behalf I cannot make a booking because I don't have a Victorian address. And even if I could make a booking there is a 3 day wait. Then to make matters worse I need to arrive with the car for an 'inspection'. It has already been inspected! The car is at my fathers place who lives in the country nowhere near a registry. So I have to organise and pay for another permit, take another day out of my time to go and get the car and bring it to a registry then return it. This is so much more difficult than NSW and QLD by so many orders of magnitude. VicRoads please remember that you are not an autocracy and that you are doing this for the people and try to make things easier (a lot easier).

Regards,

Alex
