如果在澳洲开车发生违章，一般都会以信件的方式收到罚单，有的时候如果是被警察拦停也有可能在现场直接给罚单。
不管是以信件还是现场收到的罚单，上面都会清楚的写明你的罚单号和详细的违章内容。如果违章事实存在，但只是轻微的超速，以及首次，那么有很大的机会是可以申请豁免掉而改成“警告Warning”的。
一般以信件形式收到的超速罚单，如图下（摄像头拍摄到的超速）：
（注：澳洲曾今出现过“假罚单”的诈骗，如果对自己收到的罚单存在疑问，可以在网上搜出Fines Victoria的官方联系方式，打电话过去进行确认）
罚单中包括：
超速的日期；
时间；
允许的速度；
测到的实际速度；
驾照罚分；
罚款金额；
缴纳罚金的方法；
需要交纳罚款的截止日期 - 这个很重要，逾期会罚款金额会增加。
在澳大利亚州维多利亚州，管理各种罚款的政府部门叫“Fines Victoria”，而不是警察部门（注：澳洲警察拥有执法权和处罚权，所有的罚款都是整个州政府管理，很多谣言说的“指标”“奖金”是无稽之谈）

针对大部分罚单的申诉（超速罚单下面另作介绍）
针对大部门的交通违章罚单，可以通过下面的方式“申诉”
在线申诉系统：
https://online.fines.vic.gov.au/en/Request-a-review/Review-Form#/step1
哪些情况可以申请申诉
罚款的决定和相关的法律是相悖的；
你确实违章了，但是有特殊原囊身份搞错了
你不知道整个罚单的存在，并且这个罚单不是当面给你的
你有特殊情况，这个可能是
智力残疾；
精神疾病；
对毒品或酒精严重上瘾；
无家可归；
家庭暴力，等。
对于超速25公里以上（或者限速110驾驶超过130km/h），酒后驾驶，吸毒驾驶这类是不在申诉范围内的。而上述的原因有可能都需要你提供相关的证据。
Fines Victoria在收到你的申诉申请后90天内出结果，一旦做出决定，他们会以邮件方式通知，而可能的结果包括：
罚单被撤回，没有进一步针对你处罚；
罚单被撤回，会给你一个“官方警告”
请将此事提交给地方法院（需要上庭）
免除或更改与罚款相关的任何费用；
免除或更改罚款所施加的任何额外处罚措施（比如扣分等）
批准可以分期付罚单
维持原来的罚单
超速罚单申诉
而对于超速罚单，如果超速低于10km/h的，会有另外的方式“内部申诉”，不过这个内部申诉一定要在缴纳罚单的截止日期之前申请
官网：https://www.police.vic.gov.au/content.asp?document_id=10369
符合哪些条件可以申诉：
超速低于10km/h的；
在过去的2年，没有收到任何交通罚单或者官方警告；
比较好的驾驶历史记录。
这个申诉必须通过书写的方式申请，申诉信邮寄到下面的地址：
Officer in Charge, Traffic Camera Office, GPO Box 1916, Melbourne 3001
而结果也会以信件的方式邮寄到你写的住址，下面是一个成功的申诉结果：

关于申诉信，网上了搜集了2个例子，可以作为参考，建议信的内容一定要诚恳。
例子一：
Application for Official Warning
Dear Sir/Madam,
My
name is X. As a Chinese tourist, I had a tour in Melbourne on Feb 23, 2015. Recently I received an infringement notice from the Road Safety Camera Enforcement Agency: Victoria Police. I am writing this letter to apply for the official warning instead of penalty due.
First of all, I do not deny that I committed the offence.Because it was my first time driving a car in Australia, throughout the whole driving I tried to make the speed control at 80 km / h on the road carefully. At the time of the offence, I was driving in a single-lane road and the car was automatic. Because being fixed in one position a few long time, there were some leg numbness. A little more power could make the car a little acceleration uncarefully. When viewing the speedometer faster, Ireduced the speed, it was too late. I must admit that I was not paying enough attention to the speedometer.
I realize that this is no excuse, but I am hoping to apply for the internal review and your kind re-consideration based on my good driving record. I have not had any traffic infringement in the last five years in china. This is my first time driving in a foreign country, I had three day's driving, in Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road, and I had one traffic violation only. So I am very carefully always,definitely not intentional speeding.
I am a teacher, complying with the legislation is basic quality. I believe that I have been a responsible driver, which can be proved by
the fact that I have never been involved in any traffic accident since I obtained my license, and I have never had my driver’s license cancelled or suspended, never speeding in my country.
I do apologize for not being careful enough and I admit that I did not abide by the speed limit at the time of the offence. But I do hope that you can kindly withdraw my infringement notice and give me an official warning instead. Your time and consideration of this is greatly appreciated. Enclosed is my detail information of infringement notice.
Yours sincerely,
X

例子二
Traffic Infringement Notice: xxxxxxxxx (Obligation: xxxxxxxxx)
I wish to request that this Traffic Infringement Notice be converted to an Official Warning.
My Victorian driver’s licence number is: xxxxxxxxxxxx
I have a good driving record over the last 2 years, and have not been issued a speeding fine, traffic fine, or official warning within this
time. I am always obeying the traffic law and driving carefully.
Due to the fact that I am still looking for a job and I don’t have an income so far, my financial budget would be better if I could save the $176 on my son’s education instead of the Traffic Infringement Notice.
Due to the situation above, I would be grateful if the Traffic Infringement Notice was withdrawn and an Official Warning issued instead.
Thank you
