Safety Certificates Roadworthy Inspections

Gulf Parts & Service in Weipa, Cape York Peninsula is an Approved Inspection Station (AIS)

Gulf Parts & Service can issue Safety Certificates (formerly Roadworthy Certificates RWC) for vehicles that pass vehicle inspections.

In the State of Queensland, a safety certificate is needed when:

  • you are transferring registration to a new owner or
  • you are transferring to Queensland registration from another state or territory or
  • you are re-registering an unregistered vehicle

Vehicles requiring a safety certificate are cars, motorcycles, trailers (including caravans) with an aggregate trailer mass (ATM) between 750kg and 4,500kg. Or any other vehicles up to 4,500kg gross vehicle mass (GVM).

This inspection covers the basic vehicle safety standards for many components including:

  • Tyres
  • Brakes
  • Suspension
  • Steering
  • Body damage or Rust
  • Lights
  • Windscreen

A safety certificate inspection is not a comprehensive mechanical inspection on the quality, or life expectancy of a vehicle. Talk to us today about the different types of inspections available at Gulf Parts & Service and which one will best suit your needs.
