Veteran Car Club of Australia (Victoria)

A club permit allows an unregistered vehicle to be used on a highway during the period specified on the permit.

A club permit can be issued to the following vehicles in the following categories:

• Veteran vehicles - manufactured before 1 January 1919
• Vintage vehicles -manufactured after 31 December 1918 and before 1 January 1931
• Classic & Historic vehicles manufactured after 31 December 1930, but more than 25 years before the date of the application for a club permit.

These categories can include trailers and modified vehicles such as street rods. Vehicles which are replicas of vehicles in the above categories may also be issued with a club permit.

A club permit allows vehicles to be used:

• in connection with official activities organised by an association approved by VicRoads, such as car rallies, or in the preparation of the vehicle for such activities; or
• if authorisation for special private use has been granted.

Club Permits are issued for 12 month periods and vehicles are issued with a specific club permit number plate.

Applying for a club permit
To apply for a Club permit you will need to complete a Club Permit Registration form together with:

• written verification by the club secretary (or person authorised by VicRoads) that the applicant for the club permit is a member of the car club
• in the case of a club historic vehicle that is not a street rod, a current certificate of roadworthiness or a letter from a scrutineer authorised by the club, stating that the vehicle is safe for use on the road.
• Club Permit fee - refer to Permits (Club, Rally and Unregistered Vehicle Permits)
• The Current Scheme is currently under review with VicRoads, a new 90 Day permit is most likely to be the result.
