Indexation of fees and penalties

Victorian Government departments and agencies charge fees for services and regulatory purposes, including licensing and registering certain activities, and fines for improper conduct and to discourage unlawful behaviour.

Fees and fines are officially set and revised by legislation relevant to their application.

The Victorian Government has a policy of indexing certain fees and fines each year. For further explanation on fees and fines, see the fact sheet under related publications.

For the purposes of section 8(1)(d) of the Subordinate Legislation Act 1994, the Treasurer has set the approved annual rate for increasing fees in 2024-25 at 2.75 per cent.

Automatically indexed fees and fines

Lists of the automatically indexed fees and fines which contribute to the Victorian Government's public account can be found on departmental websites.

Although all departments make the lists as accurate and complete as possible, updates and revisions may be necessary. To view the lists follow the relevant links below.

Premier and Cabinet and Treasury and Finance are not responsible for any relevant fees or fines and therefore have no list to publish.
