    Keep in mind that most clubs will require 12 months of membership before you can get club rego.

    Correct, no qualifying period or other requirements for club reg with ASRF. Just need to be a financial member. I joined this club.

    some more light reading that I borrowed

    How is a club permit obtained?
    An applicant for a permit must: produce written verification by the car club secretary (or a club official authorised by VicRoads) stating that he or
    she is a member of the car club in the case of a vehicle that is not a street rod, provide a current certificate of roadworthiness or a letter from a
    scrutineer authorised by the club, stating that the vehicle
    is safe for use on the road

    in the case of an application made in respect of a street rod, that is a vehicle modified in excess of the level prescribed in the Vehicle Standards Information No
    8 document (VSI8), provide a Street Rod Inspection certificate issued by the Australian Street Rod Federation (ASRF)
    pay an annual Club Permit fee of (currently) $37.40 plus
    the applicable Transport Accident Charge

    What road use is permitted under aclub permit?
    A club permit only allows vehicles fitted with a specific club permit number plate to be used on the road network:
    in connection with official activities organised by an association approved by VicRoads, such as car rallies, or
    in the preparation of the vehicle for such activities; or when authorisation for “special use” has been granted
    by a club. This authorisation allows a vehicle or vehicles within the scheme to be used for “one off” trips (not
    for commercial purposes) outside of activities usually permitted.


    Drivers must carry a copy of their club permit when operating on the road network.

    What are the issues with the current scheme?
    Consultation with car clubs and the police suggests
    that the following elements of the current scheme
    require review:
    1. Definition of “preparation for club events”
    Driving a vehicle operating by means of a club permit
    on the road network to have it tested, repaired or
    serviced in preparation for an official club event raises
    issues of interpretation for both permit holders and the
    police. This is because there is no agreed definition of
    “preparation”. As a result, permit holders can never be
    certain that they are legally using their vehicle, and police
    have difficulty in deciding whether instances of such use
    are legal or otherwise.
    Permit holders deemed to be acting outside their permit
    conditions can be charged with the offence of driving an
    unregistered vehicle.
    Efforts to legally define “preparation” have proved
    unsuccessful because the definitions considered are
    either too restrictive for vehicle operators (who at times
    have complex vehicle preparation requirements due to
    the specialised nature of many vehicles) or are too loose
    to be enforceable by the police.
    2. Special private use vouchers
    Some stakeholders have expressed concerns as to
    whether the issuing of “special use” vouchers by car
    clubs is adequately covered by the provisions of the Road
    Safety (Vehicles) Regulations. While VicRoads believes
    that the provision complies with the regulations, the
    issue has been considered in this review.
    3. The age limit for classic and historic vehicles
    The current 25 year age eligibility requirement for classic
    and historic vehicles has the potential soon to include
    many late 1980’s production vehicles that are still
    operating under standard registration on a daily basis but
    are rapidly approaching the end of their mechanical lives.
    These vehicles are, in the majority of cases, not in the
    category of enthusiast/hobby vehicles, but are daily use
    vehicles. This presents a “grey” area where vehicles may
    not yet be clearly historic or hobby vehicles but could be
    used only to provide lower cost daily transportation.
    Consultation already conducted with car club peak
    bodies has indicated that there is some concern that
    the use of unrestored vehicles of this age under a club
    permit is arguably not a legitimate club activity engaged
    in by people committed to restoration and preservation
    of historic vehicles as a hobby. There is potential for
    some vehicle owners to obtain a club permit as a means
    of obtaining cheaper form of “registration” for normal
    driving purposes.

    The current Club Permit Scheme

    The guiding principles of the Club Permit Scheme are:

    Membership of a car club is central, for administration
    of the scheme, to ensure permits are used by vehicle
    enthusiasts and for the “fraternal” aspects engendered
    by club membership.


    Permits for eligible vehicles are available at low cost.
    Vehicles operating on club permits have restrictions
    on their use.

    The uses permitted, other than for a limited number
    of (non-commercial) “special use authorisations”, are
    based on vehicle use in connection with vehicle club
    activities, or preparation for club activities.

    Car clubs administer the vehicle inspection process
    and permit renewal processes, with VicRoads
    providing overall administration of the scheme.

    Which vehicles are eligible?
    Veteran vehicles (manufactured before 1 January 1919)
    Vintage vehicles (manufactured after 31 December 1918
    and before 1 January 1931)
    Classic and Historic Vehicles (manufactured after
    31 December 1930 and more than 25 years prior to
    the date of application for a club permit)
    Street Rods (more than 25 years old and modified
    beyond VicRoads’ Vehicle Standards Bulletin No.
    Vehicles that are trailers or are replicas of vehicles in the
    above categories may also be issued with a club permit.

    I don't know if this has been noted before but you must be a financial member of a club to be able to drive a car on historic rego.
