- Department of Transport (DoT) offers new traffic
infringement payment options and services
- Payment extensions and direct debit part payment
instalments available in DoTDirect
- New service options implemented as part of the
Infringement Management Reform Program
The Cook Government is pleased to announce new
traffic infringement payment options offered by the Department of Transport
(DoT) to assist those who may have difficulty paying by the due date.
From today, 7 October, a range of online
payment options and infringement services are available on the DoT website and
DoTDirect as part of a more modern, customer-focused online traffic
infringement management system for Western Australia.
The new payment options and services include:
- direct debit
payment instalment plans;
- payment
extensions;
- identifying
the driver of the vehicle; and
- electing to
have the matter heard by a court.
The new DoTDirect infringement services make
it easier to submit the identity of the person behind the wheel at the time of
an alleged traffic offence.
The community can also log into DoTDirect to
view traffic infringement images or request a review or a court hearing.
The changes have been implemented as part of
the Infringement Management Reform Program (IMRP), a whole-of-government
solution to address WA's outdated traffic infringement system.
The reform, led by the Road Safety Commission
and supported by DoT and WA Police Force resulted in infringement
administration and management transfer from WA Police Force to DoT in 2024.

DoTDirect account today or find more information on the new infringement
services on the DoT website.
Comments attributed to Minister Assisting the Transport Minister David
Michael:
"As Road Safety Minister, I don't want to see people speeding on our
roads, putting their lives and the lives of others at risk.
"However, I am pleased that we are now able to provide payment options
through the Department of Transport for those who infringe and have difficulty
paying the fine.
"The new options include a payment extension or a direct debit payment
instalment plan.
"This is another example of the Cook Government's commitment to providing
cost-of-living relief for all Western Australians.
"The more modern and customer focused DoTDirect infringement services
have been announced as part of the Cook Government's Infringement Management
Reform Program.
"The changes also make it easier than ever to review infringement
photographs, identify the driver of the vehicle at the time of the alleged
offence, request a review or elect for the matter to heard by a court."
