The Victorian Government has introduced a new way for people to pay their fines and avoid extra fees.
Instead of paying fines in one lump sum, those who are eligible can now either pay their fine by instalment or get an extension on the due date from the time it is first issued.
Eligibility Criteria
Payment plans are available up-front to people who meet the eligibility criteria. There is a discretion to offer payment plans to any person, including applications for reasons of financial difficulty.
People who receive one of the following benefits are eligible for payment plans up-front:
- Centrelink Health Care Card
- Pensioner Concession Card
- Department of Veterans' Affairs Concession Card.
Financial Hardship
You can also apply on the basis of financial hardship. You may be asked questions about your financial circumstances and asked to supply documentation. Your application will be assessed on this information.
To get more information about your eligibility for a payment plan up-front call Civic Compliance Victoria on (03) 9200 8111, between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday.
Callers from regional Victoria can contact Civic Compliance Victoria on 1800 150 410 for the cost of a local call.
