For example, here is a quick search i did, and this is what came up:

There are other ones, so its best to shop around, some will try to screw you by saying one mod per plate, but u can get some that put 4 mods per plate etc. The guy that did mine was a free lancer and he said he'll put as many as he can on the one plate, and cost me bout $80, but unfortunately, My iphone was stolen when i was in thailand, and i lost his number... Look around and just ask them when you get your quotes and make sure that they will give you the modification certificate/papers, because when you go to QLD transport, showng them a mod plate is no good, you need to show them the papers. Good luck wit it all!

Thanks champ, ill ring around,

There used to be a workshop in burleigh heads that did all and on the spot. They did check the usual white slip requirements just like pink slips jn syd. But he was kool mod plating my old beast.

Are there any types of mods that cant be mod plated? I knw there are some but cant recall.

So do u think a ek civic with a kswap will pass? All work is done correctly.

Yeah should be alrite, as long as the engine has been put in properly u shouldnt have a problem, but as far as i know, u can modplate just about anything, u will have to find out in detail though from someone more experienced, I dont know too much in that field. All the best! Hope my wisdom has helped you...

say you had your K swap modplated and registered (QLD) and were then to tranfer the registration to nsw, would the engine still be registered as a 2.0L or 2.4 , say it originally had a B16a?

very curious to this one

if the new engine was registered in QLD and then you transfer to NSW, then RTA will have the new engine number recorded in their database as well as written on the RTA rego papers.

But there is still that risk of being defected by not having an engineers certificate in NSW - as the MOD plates are only valid if the vehicle was registered /operated on QLD roads.
