The best way to avoid these fees is by setting up direct debit from a credit card or bank account, paying by cheque, BPAY from a bank account, or paying over the counter at Australia Post by cash or cheque.

You can set up both eBilling and direct debit on your account by using your account number and postcode to register for My Account, your online, self-service portal. Log in 24/7 at My Account. You can also call our friendly team if you have any questions.

Yes. You can continue to use your credit card without incurring the fees by setting up a direct debit, including fortnightly or monthly instalments on a set date of your choice.

Yes, you can go to My Account and change your bill preferences at any time or call us to make the change.

This can be managed 24/7, online, with My Account. Alternatively you can call us and we’ll update it for you.

In the unlikely event that we direct debit the incorrect amount, we'll refund the payment back into your bank account or credit card.

If you’re concerned you may not have adequate funds in your savings account each month, you can set up a direct debit from a MasterCard®, Visa or American Express® credit card. There is no fee to arrange a direct debit from a credit card, however if you use a credit card to manually pay your bill, fees may apply. See our fee table.

There is no charge to make a payment via electronic funds transfer (EFT) or via BPAY from a cheque or savings account.

If you're concerned that you won't be able to pay your next bill, please contact us on 133 466 so we can work with you to arrange a suitable plan and go through the payments options we have available for you. We have a team dedicated to helping you with any difficulties you may have paying your energy bills, so call us to discuss further.
