If you are ticketed you have 28 days to pay the fine. If you don't pay, you will receive a reminder. If no payment is received after a further 28 days, the overdue fine will be lodged with a debt-collection agency for recovery. Fines that remain unpaid after recovery efforts will be lodged with the Department of Courts, who may take action and impose a fee on top of the fine.

How to request a review or waiver
A brief summary of your legal rights is outlined on the reverse of the infringement notice. Read it carefully to find out if you would benefit from appealing.
Queries, appeals or reviews must be submitted in writing.
The review process can take up to 28 working days. During this period, please do not pay the infringement. A letter will be sent advising whether the infringement has been withdrawn or if it must be paid.
You can also query your fine using our online service. Please see the Do It Online section at the top of this page.
Remember! If the due date for payment has passed, your fine may automatically be lodged with the District Court.
