How to dispute a toll notice in Victoria

In Victoria, toll notices come from the operator — EastLink or Linkt (CityLink). Query the trip, charge or admin fee with the operator first, and submit a statutory declaration if you weren’t the driver. If a toll goes unpaid and becomes an infringement, it’s handled through Fines Victoria. 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.

By the numbers

46 million
toll notices were issued in NSW in 2024–25, carrying $618 million in administration fees.

Stage 1 — query the operator

While it’s a toll invoice from EastLink or Linkt (CityLink), deal with them directly about the trip, the charge or the admin fee. If you weren’t the driver, ask about their statutory-declaration process and any deadline.

Stage 2 — if it becomes an infringement

If a toll stays unpaid and is escalated to an infringement, it moves into the Victorian fines system administered by Fines Victoria, where a different review process applies.

Fight My Fine's tool is for Stage 2 — once the toll has become an infringement handled by Fines Victoria, not the earlier query to the operator. From a few plain-English questions we draft that as an editable Word document you send to Fines Victoria yourself. The initial query to EastLink or Linkt is one you write and send directly.
