Information for service stations
Registering with FuelCheck
All operators of service stations in NSW were required to register with FuelCheck in July 2016, in order to update fuel prices.
To register with FuelCheck, operators are required to provide:
- contact details for the person responsible for setting retail fuel prices
- the location of the service station
- details about the types of fuel available.
If you are a new operator or have not yet registered with FuelCheck, please do so as soon as possible by completing the Service Station Registration form.
FuelCheck training material
If you're a service station owner or operator, visit the FuelCheck training material below for instructions on how to update fuel prices in FuelCheck.
Submitting prices to FuelCheck
Service station operators can submit their fuel prices to FuelCheck through the FuelCheck website or by using a web application programming interface (API). For more information, view or download the FuelCheck Application Programming Interface Technical Documentation (PDF, 398.15 KB).
Fuel prices must match
Service station operators must ensure the price of a fuel in FuelCheck matches the standard price of the fuel at their service station at all times. The standard price is the price per litre at which the fuel is available to retail customers without any discounts or special offers (eg. ‘shopper dockets’).
There may be occasions where the price on FuelCheck does not match that shown on a physical price board or bowser, due to reasons outside the service station’s control. For example, the FuelCheck website or API may be offline, the service station may not be able to connect to the internet to register a price update, or there could be an issue with the device being used to access FuelCheck.
Consumers who notice a price difference are encouraged to raise this with the service station operator. Consumers are able to lodge a complaint with NSW Fair Trading directly via FuelCheck regarding instances of fuel price mismatch. Fair Trading will review each complaint and depending on the circumstances the service station may be fined for non-compliance. Penalty notices of $550 can be issued for each offence.
