Calculating monetary penalties

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Commonwealth and most states express monetary penalties for breaches of laws as penalty units.

The amount of one unit is then set out in a separate Act allowing for easy adjustment when necessary.

The amount of a Commonwealth penalty unit is currently prescribed by section 4AA of the Crimes Act as $110. The amount of penalty units in the states are similar but do vary.

The Commonwealth Attorney-General has published a helpful penalty unit conversion table.
