Direct debit payment instalments and payment extension options
If you login to your DoTDirect account, you can choose to enter a direct debit payment instalment arrangement or request a payment extension – you can’t do both for the same infringement.
Direct debit payment instalments and payment extensions are only available to individuals, not organisations.
Direct debit payment instalments
You can request to make regular payments towards your vehicle infringement via direct debit.
The minimum payment and the number of instalments you are required to pay will depend on the total amount you owe.
You can’t choose the number of instalments or part payment amounts. This is automated for you.
Depending on the amount of your infringement, your direct debit payment instalments will be in either 4, 6, or 10 instalments.
You have 28 days to pay each instalment.
| Minimum Infringement value | Maximum Infringement value | Number of Instalments |
|---|---|---|
| $0 | $400 | 4 |
| $400.01 | $1000 | 6 |
| $1000.01 | + | 10 |
Payment extensions
When you request a payment extension, you’ll receive a vehicle infringement notice with an additional 28 days from the original due date.
You can only request a payment extension once per vehicle infringement notice.
Unpaid direct debit payment instalments
If full payment or a direct debit payment instalment isn’t received by the due date, you’ll be issued a final demand notice for payment with additional fees.
A final demand must be paid in full by the due date shown on the notice.
If full payment of the final demand notice isn’t received by the due date, the notice will be registered with the Fines Enforcement Registry.
This will result in further fees and possible disqualification of your vehicle and/or driver’s licence.
