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.

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).

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.
