VicRoads has a single and simple purpose - to keep Victorians moving safely and smoothly. As an organisation we believe innovation powers progress - of our people and Victorian communities. Our work matters. Victorians trust us with their safety, with critical moments in their lives and their livelihoods. And it's with innovation, purpose, inclusivity, and collaboration that we make a difference, and that we progress.

VicRoads Registration and Licensing Services (RLS) is on a pivotal transformation journey, with a dedicated focus on placing customers at the heart of everything we do. We’re committed to modernising our operations and expanding our service offerings to meet customer needs. At the core of our business, we manage the essential services of vehicle registration and licensing and our goal is to simplify interactions with VicRoads RLS, making our services more accessible and user-friendly. We’re also expanding our custom plate offerings and developing value-added products and services for those using and supporting our road networks. In August 2022 VicRoads embarked on a new chapter when the Victorian State Government partnered with Aware Super, Australian Retirement Trust, and Macquarie to operate and modernise registration and licensing services on its behalf. The joint venture is a 40-year partnership where the Government retains ownership of VicRoads, and continues to control regulation, policy, data, and privacy provisions for VicRoads Registration and Licensing. The Government sets pricing and collects the revenue for essential registration and licensing fees, whilst also maintaining its roads and safety responsibilities. Our organisational values steer our actions, decisions, and behaviours as we progress on our path of transformation - innovating to keep Victorians moving.
