Pay by Credit/Debit card or Salary deduction (part time and full time staff only)
Credit/Debit card payments will be directed to OneStop for processing
Permits purchased via salary deduction will be automatically activated
- Salary deduction will be ongoing with no need for renewal and will discontinue when cancelled
- When purchasing a permit through salary deduction, the first deduction will be for a full fortnight i.e. the first deduction will not be pro-rated even if the permit is purchased towards the end of the current pay period. If the permit is cancelled at a later stage, the pay period in which the permit is cancelled will not be charged
- Annual fee increases will be applied automatically to the fortnightly deduction. You will be notified in advance of the annual fee increase so that you may choose to cancel your permit before the new fee is applied

You can pay by Credit or Debit Card at the I&O Service Desk, Building CS1.
You must register and apply for your vPermit before making payment
Students must present student identification as proof of eligibility for the student permit rate
