Notes
Victoria
Mobile phone seatbelt cameras went live around mid 2023.
Victoria initially had three mobile phone seatbelt cameras with a total of six planned. As of June 2024 there are now nine
mobile phone seatbelt cameras that can be rotated around the state.
Cameras were to be deployed at more than 200 sites across Victoria. The initial site list contained 116 locations. The latest site
list as at August 2025 now contains 333 locations.
The penalty in 2023 was a $545 fine and 4 demerit points and will increase with indexation over time.
If a driver is taken to court the fine may escalate to $1,849 which will also increase with indexation over time.
Whilst it was initially stated that mobile phone seatbelt detection camera locations would not be published,
the Victorian government publishes a list of the locations.

sorted in suburb then street name order.
The press repeatedly reports mobile phone seatbelt cameras will reduce 95 deaths a year which is not correct. The press release by the Premiere's Department
stated, "Research from Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) has estimated this technology has the capacity to prevent 95 casualty crashes per year."
A casualty crash is one where there's a fatality or serious injury. Based on the TAC 2023 data, the percentage of fatalies to the total
of fatalities plus serious injuries requiring hospitalisation, is around 5% (which indicates 4-5 deaths a year).
The latest information appearing in the press is for Victoria, 67% of the mobile phone seatbelt cameras are for seatbelts. In NSW the percentage of
seatbelt fines is 88% for not wearing the seatbelt correctly, with 12% for not wearing a seatbelt, whilst not for Victoria, does indicate what we
can expect for Victoria.
Mobile phone seatbelt cameras are not used for speed enforcement in Victoria. It is possible if someone receives a fine, they may also be checked
for expired registration or no insurance, but this hasn't been confirmed.
Distance to camera
Based on images for the M5 mobile phone seatbelt camera, it is estimated the distance from the camera to the vehicle is around 20m.
For a portable mobile phone seatbelt camera on a trailer the distance is estimated to be around 10 metres.
