Club Permit Vehicles
To be read in conjunction with the Leaflet:
'The CLUB PERMIT SCHEME (Victoria)
Left Hand Drive vehicles on a rolling 25 year basis may now be
issued with a Club Permit.
The vehicles must comply as set out in the Club Permit Scheme Handbook PLUS additional requirements as below:
- Only approved clubs that are members of an approved Association (eg. Association of Motoring Clubs) are permitted to authorise
applications for club permits for left hand drive vehicles.
- Provided they have NOT been MODIFIED.
- Only those vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1969 will be accepted into the Club Permit Scheme.
- The words "Left Hand Drive" in lettering at least 50mm high must be clearly displayed on the front of the vehicle and at least 75mm high on the rear of the vehicle.
- If the left hand drive vehicle does not have all required lamps, (including dipping headlights suitable for right hand drive vehicles)
it cannot be used at night.
- The driver of the left hand drive vehicle must hold a full (ie. not probationary) licence.
Left hand drive vehicles that are approved for Club Permits may
only participate in events as set out for right hand drive vehicles in the Handbook
Failure to comply with the Rules of the Club Permit Scheme could
result in –
1.Fine for driving an unregistered vehicle, or
2.Loss of the individual Club Permit, or
3.Loss of the Club's authority to operate the Club Permit Scheme, or
4.Cancellation of the Club Permit Scheme for all enthusiasts.
To obtain a Club Permit for a Left Hand Drive Vehicle, you require:
- a club permit application form from VicRoads,
- a vehicle inspection report from your authorised club, OR
- a current Road Worthy Certificate, and
- a letter from the AOMC stating that your club is a paid up member of the AOMC.
The AOMC requires a letter from your authorised club stating:
- your name and address,
- the year, make and model of the vehicle,
- Engine, Chassis and VIN Number,
- that you are a paid up member of the club.
Allow plenty of time to process the application – Club and AOMC Officials
are volunteers.
Talk to the Club Permit Officer at your club to obtain details of your
Club's requirements.
Ask your Club's Permit Officer to obtain the necessary letter from the
AOMC while other paperwork is being processed to avoid delays.
Do NOT request this document yourself - it must be requested by your Club.
This letter will be returned to your club to pass on to you.

PLEASE NOTE: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER TO PERSUE THE LATEST INFORMATION FROM VIC ROADS, AS THE INFORMATION THE CLUB HAS SUPPLIED IS A GUIDE ONLY.
