Apply to pay by instalments

1. Contact Access Canberra on 13 22 81 for information on managing your infringement.
2. Complete the application form and attach any supporting documentation.
3. If your application is rejected, you could appeal that decision, or look at the other options for dealing with the fine.

If you wish to pay a traffic, parking, traffic camera or other transport fine but cannot pay it all at once, you can apply to pay it in instalments. There is no time limit for how long the instalment plan will last for. To enter a payment plan, you need to apply for an ‘infringement notice management plan’ (INMP).

The amount of each instalment will be determined by the RTA having regard to your income. This means your application will need to include details of your financial circumstances. The minimum payment will never be less than $10 per fortnight.

Only those who have a Centrelink Health Care Card, Centrelink Pension Card, Department of Veterans’ Affairs Pension Card, or Department of Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card have automatic access to this payment option. Everyone else is required to provide evidence of financial hardship with their application.
