When Do I require a Safety (Roadworthy) Certificate?

  • If you are selling a registered Caravan/Trailer in Queensland
  • Transferring registration to a new owner
  • Transferring registration from another state to Queensland
  • Re-registering a unregistered Caravan/Trailer
  • Selling or transferring registration & your Caravan/Trailer is over 750 kgs you will require a Safety (Roadworthy) Certificate
  • If your Caravan/Trailer is fixed with a permanent plumbed gas system you will require a Gas Safety Certificate 

Who is responsible for obtaining a safety certificate?

It is the seller’s legal responsibility to provide the Safety (Roadworthy) RWC certificate and complete any roadworthy related repairs required before the certificate can be issued.

You should never be persuaded to get your own Safety (Roadworthy) RWC certificate, as any repairs needed to obtain the certificate will be at your cost

What happens if my caravan doesn’t pass?
