Announcement from: Victorian Department of Transport and Planning
Department of Transport and Planning is introducing a new customer website on 15 August, called ‘Transport Victoria’. This change follows the announcement of the joint-venture model for VicRoads in mid-2022.
To all,
I’m writing to let you know that we are introducing a new customer website on 15 August, called ‘Transport Victoria’. This change follows the announcement of the joint-venture model for VicRoads in mid-2022, and involves separating our website information to reflect this.
Our new Transport Victoria website will house information about how to stay safe while moving around our roads, road management and upgrades, active transport and registration and licencing schemes, medical review, heavy vehicle access, tolls, fines, and drink-driving fines.
The VicRoads website VicRoads registration and licensing : VicRoads will be the place where Victorians go to access registration and licencing services.
Your members will still be able to complete registration and licensing transactions as usual by visiting the VicRoads website VicRoads registration and licensing : VicRoads and their personal myVicRoads account.
As we introduce our new website you may notice changes to some VicRoads documents used for registration and licensing transactions. Over time letters, certificates, and publications will be updated as required. Your members can continue to use existing forms and they will be accepted.
Once our new website goes live – I will send you more information in regard navigating the website changes so you can continue to find what you need. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please email rpspolicy@transport.vic.gov.au
Kind regards,

The seminar was targeted to the executive committees of AOMC member clubs to promote responsible management of club operations and to provide an update on the changes being made to the income tax reporting responsibilities of Not-For-Profits by the ATO on the 1st July 2024.
Please note that although this was very successful in providing education on the upcoming changes, and the responsibilities of the clubs in relation to taxation, there still remains some uncertainties about how clubs should implement these changes, and the AOMC remains committed to supporting clubs through any transitions needed.
Therefore further workshops on this topic are expected in the coming months

From Your Editor
Greetings everyone,
I’ve always said we live in the best State of the best country in the world. What’s not to love about Victoria – arguably the best of everything in one package. However, I also always said that every part of Australia has much to offer and as many of you know I have been spending a significant amount of time in Adelaide.
This has allowed me to explore and discover so many treasures that South Australia has to offer, great driving roads, wineries, beaches as well as museums, galleries and of course wonderful food.
It has also allowed me to develop further contacts with the SA equivalent of our organisation, the Federation of Historic Motoring Clubs South Australia (FHMCSA). It has been very beneficial getting to know the team from FHMCSA and sharing over the issues that we face as individual organisations and also as a movement…read more
