How much is a speeding fine in Australia?

For low-range speeding (the lowest band, generally up to about 10 km/h over), fines range from about $100 in WA to $333 in Queensland (2025–26), usually with 0–2 demerit points. Higher speed bands and school zones cost significantly more.

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.

Low-range speeding fines by state (2025–26)

StateFine (2025–26)Demerit points
NSW$149 (higher in a school zone)1
VIC$254 (rising to $261 from 1 Jul 2026)1
QLD$3331
SA$208 + $105 levy = $3132
WA$1000

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. These are the lowest speed band; fines climb steeply for higher bands and in school zones.

Why the amount varies

Speeding penalties are tiered by how far over the limit you were, and each state sets both the bands and the amounts. The figures here are the lowest band only.
