An infringement penalty must be paid by the due date and failure to pay may result in further enforcement action being taken, thereby incurring further costs.

Payment of a parking infringement cannot be made at the Parking Office.

Details regarding how to pay your parking infringement notice are listed on the back of the PIN. They are as follows:

By phone

Payments can be made with VISA or Master Card by calling the Infringement Processing Agent during business hours, Monday to Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm on +61 3 9747 9569.

By mail

Please make cheques/money orders payable to the University of Melbourne and send with the infringement notice to the address below. Cheques/money orders should be crossed and marked 'not negotiable'. If a cheque is not honoured on presentation, payment will be deemed to have not been made.

• The penalties are set by the Victorian Government under S 87(3) of the Road Safety Act 1986 (Vic). Find further information on the Vic Roads website.
• The penalties levied via issue of a parking infringement notice (PIN) are updated each year from 1 July. Further information about the infringement system generally is available here.
• Enforcement of such a PIN is covered under the rules set in the Infringements Act 2006 (Vic). In brief, you will be allowed 28 days to pay the fine. After that time a courtesy notice will be sent to remind you, and further charges may be added to the fine.
• In the event the fine is still not paid, following the further processes set out in the Infringements Act, the matter may be taken to the Magistrate's Court.
• There is information on the back of the PIN regarding the possibility of payment plans to spread payment over a longer period than the norm (28 days). If you wish to seek application of such a plan, please ring the number indicated on the PIN.
• Once the infringement is issued, the electronic data is stored in the handheld unit and uploaded by wireless to a data base. The Traffic Officer cannot delete the infringement notice. Parking Office staff are also unable to delete the notice or withdraw a fine.
• Ring the Infringement Processing Agent +61 3 9747 9569 during office hours, and if you provide details of the parking offence they will then be able to take your payment.
• Any request to have a parking infringement withdrawn (also known as a request for internal review' of the infringement) must to be forwarded in writing to the address shown on the PIN.
• Underlying legality for an 'internal review of infringements' lies within the Infringements Act 2006 (Part 2 Section 22 etc), ie an infringement may be withdrawn if:
  (a) the decision—
  (i) was contrary to law; or
  (ii) involved a mistake of identity; or
  (b) that special circumstances apply to the person; or
  (c) the conduct for which the infringement notice was served should be excused having
  regard to any exceptional circumstances relating to the infringement offence.
• Note that infringements will only be withdrawn rarely. Unique and unusual circumstances would need to be shown for an infringement to be withdrawn. If your circumstance is not unique and unusual it will not be accepted. Please refer to the list of excuses below that would not normally be acceptable.

If you intend to appeal the PIN, do so by writing to the Infringement Processing Agent and mail it to:

The University of Melbourne
Infringement Processing Agent
PO Box 577
Melton VIC 3337

Business hours:
Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm (Victorian public holidays excluded)
Telephone: +61 3 9747 9569

When the appeal is received, the PIN is placed on hold pending the outcome of your appeal. Please do not to contact the Transport and Parking Office in the first instance as your PIN will not be placed on hold and overdue fees may be added to the infringement costs. Please contact the Infringement Processing Agent as they will be able to help you with your query.

When the review process has been finalised you will be advised of the outcome in writing.
