I’m going to be buying a second hand car off market place soon. I’ve never bought a private sale car before. What forms need to be filled out? Do I supply them? Does the seller supply them? What is the whole process? Does it cost anything at the department of transport? All help and advice appreciated. Thankyou

Might vary form state to state.
In SA, for example, you both sign transfer of ownership state amount paid, take to dept of transport, pay a certain % of the total value paid for car to dept. I think you can do it online rather than physically take to dept.
Are you buying with RWC/safety certificate? Is it being sold registered?
We just bought one for our son in QLD. Seller had a receipt ready, and the rego transfer paperwork prefilled with their details, we filed in ours and both signed in front of each other. They also gave us the 3 copies of the RWC.
To transfer it was about 35 bucks but stamp duty was also due at time of transfer which was 3% of the sale value.
