Flexible Billing Options

We all like different ways to pay our bills – so we’ve got options to suit you. There are handy tools to help manage your bills, like aligning them with when you get paid, or smoothing out your payments over the year to help you budget.

Energy bills have a lot of information – so here’s what it all means

Take control of your bill

SmoothPay

Even out your payments across the whole year and avoid bill spikes. Choose to pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly – whatever works for you.

Weekly or fortnightly billing

Instead of standard monthly billing, you can now choose to pay weekly or fortnightly to align with when you get paid.

Contact PrePay

Pay for your electricity up front, just like a prepaid mobile phone. You control how much you pay and when you pay.

Pay your bill now

You can pay online anytime with your credit card. Just log in to ‘My Account’ below, and look for ‘Pay Bill’ in the menu.

Why choose email bills?

You can get your bills by email or post. There’s a $2.30 (incl GST) fee for each paper bill sent to you in the post. But email billing is free, convenient and environmentally friendly.

Other ways to pay

Setting up direct debit means you’ll never miss a payment as it happens automatically. We will deduct the outstanding balance on the due date of your bill. You still get a bill so that you can keep an eye on your energy use and the amount you owe. Direct debit payments from a credit or debit card will incur a processing fee of 0.95% (incl GST) of the payment amount. The fee will appear on your next Contact bill. 

You can set up, change, or remove this at any stage by signing into My Account or via the Contact app.
