Disputing a toll notice has two stages. First, raise it with the toll operator (such as Linkt/Transurban or EastLink) — query the trip, the charge or the admin fee, and if you weren’t the driver you can submit a statutory declaration. If it has gone unpaid and become a penalty notice, you deal with the state revenue body instead. It’s free to query.
Every letter is structured around the exact grounds the reviewing officer looks for, tailored to your offence and circumstances, and written as an editable Word document you review and send yourself.

If your grounds are weak, we'll tell you. $10 for parking and toll, $15 for all other fines.While it’s still a toll notice or invoice from the operator (Linkt/Transurban, EastLink and others), you deal directly with that operator about the trip, the charge or the admin fee.
If it goes unpaid and is referred on as a penalty notice, it becomes a fine handled by the state revenue body — at that point you follow that body’s review process, not the operator’s.
Whether any apply depends on your situation:
Contact the operator named on your notice through their query or dispute process, quote the notice number, and attach anything that supports you. If you weren’t driving, ask about their statutory-declaration process and any deadline (some operators require it within about 30 days).
A clear letter identifies the fine, states the reason plainly, refers to your evidence, and makes a specific request. Fight My Fine's tool is for this second stage — once the toll debt has become a fine handled by the state revenue body (Revenue NSW, Fines Victoria or the Queensland Revenue Office), not the initial query to the operator. From a few plain-English questions we draft that as an editable Word document you send to the state body yourself. The first-stage query to the toll operator is one you write and send directly.
In two stages. First raise it with the toll operator (Linkt/Transurban, EastLink and others) about the trip, charge or admin fee — submitting a statutory declaration if you weren’t the driver. If it has become a penalty notice for non-payment, you deal with the state revenue body instead.
Yes — the administration fee added when a toll goes unpaid is a common thing people query with the operator. Acting quickly, before fees stack up, gives you the best position.
Most operators let you submit a statutory declaration naming the actual driver, often within about 30 days of the notice. Check the deadline on your specific notice.
Flat pricing: $10 for a parking or toll-notice letter, $15 for all other fines. If we rate your grounds strong and the fine is still not overturned, we refund your fee in full. There is a free case-strength check before you pay.
