Approved Inspection Station
Safety certificates (roadworthy certificates) are required in Queensland when re-registering an unregistered vehicle, selling a vehicle or transferring ownership, or when registering a vehicle from interstate. This is a simple inspection that covers the basics required for its safe operation.
When the fully qualified and licensed mechanics at Hervey Bay Brake & Exhaust provide a safety inspection, we’ll check:
- Windscreen & lights
- Tyres, brakes, steering & suspension
- Vehicle body (checking for rust or damage)
As an approved inspection station (AIS), we can provide you with a safety certificate if your vehicle passes the inspection and advise you on the repairs and replacements required if it doesn’t.
Get in touch with our Hervey Bay mechanics on (07) 4124 3166 for enquiries or to arrange a service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a safety certificate and when is one required?
A safety certificate is an official record confirming electrical or gas work meets Australian safety standards. It is required after installations, repairs or alterations and for property sales or rentals. The certificate confirms the system was safe when inspected and helps reduce risks such as fire, shock or gas leaks.
How long does a safety certificate remain valid?
The validity of a safety certificate depends on certificate type and state or territory regulations. Some certificates apply only at completion of work, while others must be current for selling or leasing property. A certificate reflects safety at inspection time and does not cover later damage, ageing or system changes.
What does a safety certificate inspection usually cover?
A safety certificate inspection checks wiring, connections, earthing, safety switches and compliance with Australian standards. Inspectors use testing equipment to identify faults, wear or incorrect installation. The inspection aims to uncover hazards early so issues can be fixed before injury, property damage or serious safety incidents occur quickly and unexpectedly.
