Yes. Just did mine the other day actually. Cost me $93. My van did have wa plates sent over to the factory though, so it only needed to be checked for length, lights, plates and gas compliance plate (which for some reason we did not have.....quick call to jayco, who rang head office and we had the number and now an emailed version of the thing).
If you are down my way, Freo, then I can provide you with the number of the people I took ours too.

These links might help @Lisyloo317 (Prices required will be for "Any other light vehicle: Initial examination fee")

Regional Examination Fees

and

Regional Examination Locations are linked here
But you may also have to get a Temporary Movement Permit for $23 (May only be required for unlicensed vehicles)

The $93 that @Smirke quoted looks close but might be a couple of dollars more down your way.

What year 17:56-2 is it. Iirc one WA member here had issues with the chains being undersize for the van weight and getting knocked back at Rego and it was a brand new van !

If the van is already licensed they just really want the plates and gas reg. At first the guy thought he was doing a full inspection. Then said....it's already licensed! A few crossed wires happened, but other than not having the silly gas paper work, all was good. Actually discovered my van is approx 8.5 m long. With a forward load space of 3.6m and rear overhang of 3.2m. So now my baby goes back in for the spare to be mounted on the back....to hide jaycos dent they made.

Looks like the great southern is also $93.
The guy I went to was great. Found I could leagally put shackles permanently on the car to hook the van ones too, instead of ripping skin off my fingers all the time.

Then you get a pretty piece of paper like this...... image.jpeg
