Pay your fine through Centrepay
You may be able to pay in fortnightly instalments, deducted automatically from your Centrelink payments through Centrepay.
If you are having trouble paying your fine as a lump sum, but you can afford smaller instalments, you can ask to pay as an automatic deduction to your Centrelink benefit. If you were receiving a Centrelink benefit at the time of the fine, you can also ask for a 50% discount on some fines.
- If you do not dispute the fine
- You are on a Centrelink benefit and
- You cannot afford to pay your fine as a lump sum but can pay in smaller instalments
Do not do this if:
- You want to dispute the fine
Be quick
If you don’t deal with the fine before the due date, additional fees can be added or your licence can be suspended.
Stick to your plan
If the Centrepay arrangement is in place for the penalty period or for longer, you need to stick to it. If you don’t pay on time there may be more penalties, including enforcement action and extra costs.
