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.
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.
