Fines and fees

What we do

Revenue NSW provides a processing service for over 250 organisations who issue penalty notices in New South Wales.

• We process fines and fees for local councils, NSW Police Force, Sydney Trains, hospitals, universities, and various statutory boards and trusts.
• We collect ambulance fees for the Ambulance Service of NSW and other government agencies.
• We issue penalties directly for camera detected offences such as speeding, red light and bus lane cameras.
• We also investigate, issue notices and prosecute anyone lodging false nominations or failing to nominate drivers for demerit point offences.

What happens if you don't pay a fine or fee

If you don’t pay a fine or fee in full by the due date or make an arrangement with us to pay the debt we will commence recovery action for your unpaid fines or fees.

You should always try to pay a fine as soon as you can.

• If you don’t believe you committed the offence, you can nominate another person.
• You can also request a review of your fine, including an overdue fine.
• Read more about the process for recovering fines.
