when i transfered the rego from WA to Qld for my poopra i had to get a saftey cert which the dumb bitch at the qld transport didnt even ask for!
all she did was check my lights, blinkers, break lights, engine and chasis numbers
made me pay alot of money(since i had 2 months rego i only had to pay for 4 months to get a "6 month" sticker)
gave me new plates
and bam
all is good
still got the old plates too
lucky mine required a socket wrench to get off

It will vary from state to state but going from NSW to Qld you have 2 options. Deregister and get refund, then get permission to drive an unregistered car interstate. Then apply for registration when you get there - after getting your safety certificate done.
Option 2 is driving it home and then deregistering (have to get refund from interstate), safety certificate or equivalent, apply for registration. All depends how much rego is left really and how much hassle you like to deal with. Check with your local state transport guys. They will tell you specifics for your state/situation. Provided you get someone who has a clue behind the counter.

what state you buying from?has the car been modified?
recently sent mine to melb...had to deregister it and supply copies of the blue plate...was told rego not transferrable
as hawk stated you can apply for a special license to be able to drive a deregistered car..something like 48 hours
every state is different....contact the RTA and give em your situation....they "should" be able to tell you exactly what options you have
generally once interstate all you need is a copy of the blue slip (if modified), rwc & deregistration notice (2 be safe, so they can see it was running) & it should be a simple as dotting & crossing your i's n t's

in Qld they used to call it a "unregistered vehicle permit" - costs about $17 a day
BUT up here you have to arrange Compulsory Third Party (CTP insurance) PRIOR to queuing in the transport department office for half-a-bloody-day as they won't give you the permit without the insurance - which you were supposed to have obtained from somewhere else, which their website DIDN'T point out...
</rant>
i'd say NSW is much the same. (search for "Unregistered Vehicle Permit" - plus there seems to be this form <http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/publicationsstatisticsfo rms/downloads/45070190.pdf>)
if i were doing it, i would arrange for the permit in advance (so you'll need engine and VIN no.s etc) so when you pickup the car you leave behind the plates.
you should not try to arrange any paperwork on the day you're planning to shift/drive the car- because some customer diservice representative will stuff your day up... (sorry if you work for Qld Tpt or RTA or similar ... but i've never had a pleasant experience in one of those offices in 19 years of driving).

ohhh i was planning on going up to QLD and driving it back to NSW, the try transferring rego to nsw, and if possibly handing in the plates to NSW rta, as the rego is almost over anyways, but i don't want it falling out of rego as i don't want to go through blue slip

i think you'll have to go thru blue-slip-pain when changing the rego over from qld to nsw - its not like changing owner of a nsw registered car.
if the car is being sold in qld with rego then it's manditory to have a safety inspection certificate. but i'm not sure if that certificate would satisfy a blue-slip inspection.
see <www.transport.qld.gov.au> and <www.rta.nsw.gov.au> for more info.
