There is car registration "rego" which is annual and this incorporates a third party liability insurance premium. You get a sticker to chuck in the car similar to a tax disk but a bit better looking and not made of paper

If you are buying a new car then there are some deals about which will include on the road costs, such as rego, delivery, stamp duty etc.
I've just paid $600 odd for the rego of my new Ford Falcon XR6. But then again my insurance premium for fully comp insurance is only $450 for the year for any driver over 25. Dream on getting those sort of premiums in the UK

Maybe slightly different in WA and I'm in QLD.
Have fun with the car buying.
