If you only just bought it, and it is registered in VIC, then don't drive it.

To get it inspected here you will need a temp movement permit to allow
you to drive it to the inspection center.

Unless YOU owned the car yourself in VIC for at least a year then it is now
considered unregistered in WA. This catches lots of people out, especially
because your insurance will not pay if you have a prang.

How did you pay for it ?
Did you get a receipt ?
Did you know that VIC govt will not let you transfer it into your name coz you don't live there ? Even so, do not fill in VIC transfer papers.

WA licencing will need some sort of proof of purchase, eg receipt from previous
owner. Eg, a letter from them saying they have sold it to you and for how much
you paid for it.

The best way is a letter from the previous owner saying you own bought it from
them. Take that with you when getting inspected/licensed and the WA guys
will take you VIC plates and send them back to VIC for you. Don't take the car
down there without the plates. They will not license the vehicle here if they
are unable to de-licence it in VIC. You can't have 2 sets of plates for one car
unless you want to make problems for yourself.

Once inspected as OK, you will need to pay licence AND transfer fee immediately
at a licencing center.

Hope this helps a bit.
