Donald Trump's War in the Middle East continues to push up prices at the pump and put families under pressure.
That's why Labor is cutting the cost of commuting and driving.
20 per cent off regos start tomorrow.
Currently, light vehicle registration can cost up to $930.70 every year, for every car. With 20 per cent off rego:
- a driver with one car will receive up to $186 back
- a family with two cars will receive up to $372 back
Half-price fares also kick in tomorrow until the end of the year. Under half-price fares:
- a full daily fare will cost $5.70 to travel anywhere across the state, not $11.40
- that saves a regular commuter more than $850 between tomorrow and 1 January next year
It's all about putting money back in the pockets of Victorians while fuel prices remain high.
Labor is delivering real cost of living help to families that need it - and Liberals oppose it.
About 20% off rego
You'll get 20% back off your rego via a rebate on the Service Victoria app or website.
To be eligible for the rebate, Victorians need to have paid their registration between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026 for a light vehicle for personal use. This includes cars, utes, motorbikes and any vehicle under 4.5 tonnes.
You'll get the full rebate regardless of whether you pay your yearly rego in full or in installments.
You can claim for up to two vehicles in your name.
To apply, you need to log into your Service Victoria account or create a Service Victoria account.
Payments will be made by direct bank transfer - most within 30 days.
When applying, you need to enter your:
- Registration number
- Full name
- Victorian driver licence number or VicRoads customer number
- Bank details, so you can receive the rebate
You have two months to apply. Applications open at 9:00am June 1 and are open until 31 July 2026.

About half price PT
Half-price fares will apply when you touch on - you don't have to fill out any forms.
Under half-price fares, a full daily fare will cost $5.70 to travel anywhere across the state - not $11.40.
This will save a regular commuter more than $850 between tomorrow and 1 January next year.
Free PT was a temporary measure to help Victorians - now we're slashing commuting costs for the rest of the year.
Public transport will remain permanently free for under 18s and other special pass holders.
As stated by Premier Jacinta Allan
"As Premier, I'm determined to do everything I can to help Victorians who are under pressure."
"This won't fix everything, but it's real help right now to make a difference."
As stated by Minister for Roads and Road Safety Ros Spence
"We know every dollar counts for motorists."
As stated by Minister for Government Services Ingrid Stitt
"Only Labor has new solutions to make life easier, safer and more affordable."
As stated by Minister for Cost of Living Paul Edbrooke
"It's real cost of living help delivered by Labor - and real cost of living help the Liberals oppose."
