From RTA Website

Second-hand vehicles currently or previously registered interstate
To register a second-hand vehicle that is currently or was previously registered interstate, you will need to attend a motor registry in person and provide:

--Proof of your identity or, if registering the vehicle in the name of a company or organisation, proof that the company or organisation is a legal entity (see related link above right).
--A representative’s authority if the vehicle is being registered in the name of a company or other organisation. For a company, the Director or an authorised delegate must complete and sign the Representative’s section on the Application for Registration form or provide a letter of authorisation on company letterhead. In the case of an incorporated association, the public officer must sign. In all cases, the authorised representative must provide proof of their identity. A representative’s authority may also be supplied for new vehicles registered in the name of a person.
--A representative’s authority cannot be supplied if you are registering the vehicle in the name of a person, you must attend the motor registry yourself. If the vehicle is being registered in joint names, one person may authorise the other to attend on their behalf (as long as the person who is not attending is recorded on the RTA computer system).
--Proof of acquisition (eg a receipt for purchase of the vehicle, certificate of registration signed by the previous registered operator/s of the vehicle, or the previous certificate of registration in the same name if coming from interstate).
--Proof of your residential address (see related link above right).
--A valid Compulsory Third Party insurance policy – also known as a green slip - in hard copy format with the number plate section blank (not required for trailers).
--Your interstate number plates – you’ll have to surrender your interstate plates before you’ll be given NSW plates.
--An inspection report – also known as a blue slip – from an Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection Station (AUVIS). For AUVIS fees, see Vehicle Inspectors Bulletin 18 available from the related link above right.
A completed Application for Registration form (see RTA Forms at the bottom of this page).
--Evidence of eligibility for any pensioner or other concessions (see related links to Pensioner concessions and Apprentice registration rebate above right).
--An engineer’s certificate if the vehicle has been modified beyond the ‘owner-certified’ level or is an Individually Constructed Vehicle (ICV).
--Evidence of repair if the vehicle has been a repairable write-off (eg letters or receipts from repairers and a written off vehicle report from AUVIS).
--Payment for registration, including registration fee, motor vehicle tax (or national heavy vehicle charges as applicable), stamp duty if applicable plus the applicable number plate fee.

All vehicles established for registration (including interstate and imported vehicles) may be selected for an additional inspection by the RTA's Vehicle Identification Inspection Unit (VIIU). You will be notified at the time of registration if your vehicle is selected.

cool thats excellent thanks heaps, do you know how much it costs to transfer it over??

I think it's something along the lines of 5% of the purchase price for stamp duty ... and then whatever the cost of rego is for your vehicle weight category ... or there abouts. Plus the cost of standard plates as well (I think that's about $30-ish) on top.

Fordchick is spot on. Couldn't have typed all that out for sure.

I bought one in Qld, live in NSW but it had NSW rego so all was cool. I see many around here (just south of the border) who don't bother changing the state rego over - they use a Qld address. I don't like it and think that tif insurance companies wanted to get picky they could refuse them. There's a fine for not transferring over in 3 months.

thelast person I encouraged to transfer QLD to NSW registrationhad heaps of hassles. The car was an import and, even though registered in Qld, he had to start new as an import - Engineering cert, weight, ....

Did it come with a Qld inspection certificate (whatever they call it)?

Mine did and rather than getting another NSW one I just "happened" to be in QLD traveling when the rego was transferred so I had to use that. Saved a few bucks.
