Figures are the 2025–26 infringement amounts (what you pay), drawn from official state sources. Amounts re-index on 1 July each year, so they change again from 1 July 2026 — always check the figure on your own notice. SA amounts shown include the $105 Victims of Crime Levy.
Every state penalises running a red light with 3 demerit points, but the dollar amount is set per state, with Queensland the highest and WA the lowest of the major states.
