Join a car club.

Be aware you need to keep a log book, in addition Club Permit holders will not be able to obtain a permit to drive their vehicle for more than 90 days in each 12 month registration period.

....and you need to join a club and all

Some clubs have minimum membership periods before they will grant club rego (since they have to sign off on it). Some also require you attend xx events per year and/or be active in the club.

Check out the VW Club of Victoria here:
Volkswagen Club Victoria - Home

From their website:

Please note - All CH plates applications, enquiries and questions to be sent to our CH officer - Andrew Ermel technical@vwclub.com.au

There are clubs that do not make you wait to get the club plates. Here is a club set up just for the club permit scheme:
Kinglake Phoenix Rod and Custom Club > Home
As others have mentioned, you have to be a member of a club.

When I looked into this for my own project car, I understood that you still need the vehicle to be inspected and it has to be "safe to drive on the road". So while they may be more lenient than a RWC inspection, it still has to be in fairly good condition and drivable

Also, after you have finished your project, if you want full rego again you need another RWC. But of course if you have just done a full resto that should be easy enough
