The list of fees, fines and charges types
This includes:
- fees for services and regulatory purposes, including licensing and registering certain activities
- fines for improper conduct, and to discourage unlawful behaviour
- fees and fines are officially set and revised by their relevant legislation.
The Victorian Government has a policy of automatically indexing certain fees and fines each year for inflation to ensure the value of fees and fines is maintained.

Public transport ticketing and fares
Ticketing conditions for rail, tram and bus services in Victoria are outlined in the new myki and Victorian Fares and Ticketing Manual(opens in a new window), which came into effect on 1 March 2018.
The conditions detail the calculation of public transport fares, passenger responsibilities when undertaking journeys and other key requirements for people using the Victorian public transport system.

An enforcement agency can address minor lawbreaking by issuing an infringement notice (on-the-spot fine) as an alternative to court prosecution for specified infringement offences.
The maximum court penalty is the maximum amount the court can impose on an offender from 1 July 2025. Infringement fines are lower than the maximum court penalty.
Although the Department has sought to make the lists as accurate and complete as possible, updates and revisions may be necessary.
