Fuel retailers in Mansfield and surrounds are being commended for their compliance with new mandatory fuel price reporting laws, soon set to save Victorians spending at the pump. The new laws started on 26 August 2025. They require Victorian fuel retailers to report their prices through the Service Victoria platform. Prices will soon be made publicly available through a new fuel finder feature on the Service Victoria app. The fuel finder feature makes it easier for Victorians to compare prices at service stations across the state and make more informed choices about when and where to fill up. “Mandatory fuel price reporting is an important cost of living support that will help Victorian motorists save money by choosing the best service station to refuel at,” said Consumer Affairs Victoria Director Nicole Rich. Designed in consultation with the Victorian community and the fuel industry, fuel price reporting is a proven way to save Victorian motorists both time and money. Victorian fuel retailers that are yet to onboard are urged to do so as soon as possible to avoid penalties. To onboard, fuel retailers must visit service.vic.gov.au/find-services/business/fuel-retailers and follow the steps to register and onboard to the platform and start reporting prices. When the fuel finder feature soon becomes available to the public through the Service Victoria app, retailers will be able to review fuel prices in real time. The Victorian daily fuel price dataset will also be available to those who request it, 24 hours after prices are published on the app. The new laws are set out in regulations under the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012.
