Payment methods
The University offers secure options to pay your tuition fees and SSAF.
Before you pay
Every time you make a payment to the University, you must use your unique payment reference. This ensures the payment is correctly matched to your student account.
Your unique payment reference is listed in:
- Your offer letter
- Your Statement of Liability and Student Invoice (for tuition fees).
Always check your unique payment reference each time you make a payment, as your unique payment reference may change.
How to pay
The University offers four secure payment options. Each method has different requirements. This depends on if you’re paying your tuition fees.
Payment options available
After entering your details in the International Payment Portal, you'll be able to choose from a range of payment options. These include:
- BPAY
- Telegraphic transfer/EFT
- Visa or MasterCard (Australian-issued cards only).
Cash or cheque unavailable
Payments by cash and cheque are not accepted. Use the BPAY option instead.
