If you pay with a debit or credit card, you may be charged a processing fee. You can avoid paying these fees by setting up a direct debit.

Important: Telstra's CRN changed on 8 October 2024. If you already have Centrepay deductions set up to pay your Telstra bills you don't need to do anything at this stage.

What is a non-electronic payment fee?

A non-electronic payment fee is the fee we charge if you pay your bill at an Australia Post or Telstra store. The fee for your last non-electronic payment includes GST and appears on your bill in the Account Charges & Credits section.

If you make multiple payments in a billing period, you will be charged once for each payment.

How do payment processing fees appear on my bill?

A payment processing fee is the fee we charge if you pay your bill with a debit or credit card. The payment processed includes GST and appears on your bill in the Account Charges & Credits section.

You will not be charged this fee if you require a braille bill or A3 paper bill copy.
