Licensing

Electric vehicles accounted for almost one in four new light vehicle licences in Western Australia during the September 2026 quarter, as the State’s licensed EV fleet continued to grow.

The Road Safety Commission and DTMI have launched the Tom's Story campaign to encourage safer driving among young people during the Leavers period. Through the experiences of Tom Saffioti's family and friends, the campaign highlights the devastating impact of road trauma and urges young drivers to make safe choices, including avoiding distractions, wearing seatbelts, managing fatigue and obeying speed limits.

WA vehicle owners now have more choice in how they pay their vehicle registration, with expanded direct debit options available through DoTDirect, including to organisations for eligible light and heavy vehicles.
