NSW Treasurer Matt Kean said under the new toll relief initiative, around half a million drivers will be able to claim 40 per cent of their toll spend up to $750 a year.

“The new Toll Relief Rebate Scheme will start putting money back into drivers’ bank accounts once they spend $375 a year on tolls,” Mr Kean said.

“We’ve more than doubled the number of drivers eligible for toll relief and for the first time, pensioners will be able to claim a rebate while still receiving free car registration.”

Minister for Metropolitan Roads, Natalie Ward, said the new toll relief scheme will make travelling more affordable particularly for those in west and south-west Sydney.

“Drivers from Casula to Liverpool, Rouse Hill and Campbelltown will be the big winners, but everyone across New South Wales will have the chance to cash in on the new Toll Relief Rebate Scheme,” Ms Ward said.

“This is about putting more cash into the pockets of hardworking NSW families at a time when they are feeling the pinch from cost of living pressures.

“We’re making sure everyone gets the chance to use our world class motorway network which saves families precious time, gets tradies to more jobs and creates a safer journey for all.”

Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government, Victor Dominello, said the new scheme will be administered through Service NSW and payments would start flowing into bank accounts within days.

Eligible customers can log into their Service NSW account, link to their toll account before lodging their toll relief rebate claim.

There is also the option to go into, or call, a Service NSW Centre for assistance. Claims will then be paid directly into their nominated bank account. 

Rebates will be backdated to 1 July 2022 and payments will start to flow from within days of applications being received.
