NSW drivers sitting on $130 million of unclaimed toll relief

Motorists in NSW have just weeks to claim $130 million in toll relief.

The state government introduced a $60 toll cap in 2024, which allows commuters to claim up to $340 a week in rebates.

Since the scheme’s rollout more than $139 million has been distributed, mainly in Western Sydney suburbs.

According to the Minns government a further $130 million, accrued between January 1, 2024 and the end of the March 2025 quarter, has not yet been claimed.

Minister for Transport John Graham said motorists had until June 30 to claim toll relief for the 2024 calendar year.

“The $60 toll cap is a critical cost-of-living support and I am pleased to see it has been laser-like in getting to where it is needed most, suburbs like Blacktown, Baulkham Hills, Marsden Park and Bankstown,” Graham said.

“These are the parts of Western Sydney where paying a toll is not a choice and in many cases relying on public transport is not a viable choice either.”

Toll relief claims for the second quarter will open on July 9, whereas toll rebates from the 2025 calendar year can be claimed up until June 30 next year.

Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government, Jihad Dib, said the claims process could be completed online or through contacting a Service NSW Centre.

“It’s heartening to see the relief provided by the NSW Government’s $60 toll cap is getting where it’s needed most.

“This initiative, delivered through Service NSW, puts money back into people’s pockets at a time when we know families across the state are doing it tough.

“The positive difference this is making to peoples’ lives is something we, as a government, are proud of.”

So far only three Sydney suburbs have surpassed $2 million in toll rebates.

These suburbs include Blacktown, Baulkham Hills and Auburn.

Meanwhile, Merrylands, Marsden Park, Castle Hill, Quakers Hill, Lakemba, Kellyville, Bankstown, Greystanes, West Pennant Hills and Punchbowl, have received more than $1 million in rebates.
