In the Northern Territory, mobile phone detection-camera fines are reviewed by NT Police (the Police Infringement Office). You apply for an infringement review, by the due date shown on your notice, explaining why it should be withdrawn (for example the phone was mounted and used lawfully, or you weren’t using it) and attaching any evidence. It’s free to ask.

Detection-camera images aren’t always clear-cut, so if you believe the fine was issued in error you can ask NT Police (the Police Infringement Office) to review it — the free first step before any court stage.
You don’t have to decide your approach upfront. Once you’ve entered your case details, Fight My Fine recommends the stronger path — disputing or asking for leniency — and you choose, or switch.
Whether any apply depends on your situation:
You apply for an infringement review, by the due date shown on your notice. Where you can, refer to what the camera image actually shows. Keep it factual and make a clear request.
A strong request identifies the notice, states the ground plainly, addresses the camera evidence, and makes a clear ask. Fight My Fine drafts that from a few plain-English questions — tailored to the Northern Territory and addressed to NT Police (the Police Infringement Office), as an editable Word document you send yourself.

Using a phone secured in a mounted cradle is treated differently from holding it, and the rules depend on your licence type. If that is your situation, it is a common ground people raise.
Act by the due date shown on your notice. The Northern Territory doesn’t publish a single state-wide review deadline for traffic fines, so check the date on your notice and apply as early as you can.
