Cheaper rego for apprentices?

[uniorj]

Word is apprentices can get $100 off rego. Does anyone know anything about this and if you do can you give me info?

Thanks,
Josh.

nah man , im apprentice we dont get cheaper rego.
BUT you can apply for a health care card wich gives you conssession on public transport and cheaper rego , and afew other discounts. i applied for it but couldnt get it because of my dads wage and my parents properties and crap. your parents have to earn under X amounth of dollars for you to even have a chance.
hope it helps dude

Isn't it hypocritical that your sexspec car is serviced by a health care card. I mean, surely it stops being 'pimping' and 'sexy' if you can't afford rego.

Oh I found something out.
A registration rebate of $100 is available to first and second year apprentices registered with the NSW Department of Education and Training.

The rebate can only be claimed after the registration or renewal fees have been paid, and only one rebate can be claimed per financial year. In addition, the vehicle must be:

*
Registered in NSW.
*
Registered (including jointly) in the name of the eligible apprentice.
*
Be registered for general private or general business use.
*
Have been registered in the name of an eligible apprentice when the registration fee and motor vehicle tax were last paid.

The rebate will be paid directly into a bank, building society or credit union in the name of the apprentice within 30 days of the application being received.

Sorry, found it on RTA website. Sucks because my car is under my dads name :(

[FASN8U]

not its not hypocrytical.
i can afford rego , thats why cars registerd.

[FASN8U]

damn its only in NSW :(

[uniorj]

It's not that I can't afford rego, just looking for ways to make the best of what situation I'm in. If it did apply to me and I didn't get the $100 then I would pretty much be throwing away $100.

yeh wen u go to the rta, tell em that ur an 1st or 2nd apprentice and have ur apprentice ID number and you should get $100 off if the car is under ur name.
