If you wish to pay by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) the Department’s bank account details
are as follows:
Bank:
CBA
BSB:
062987
Account Number:
10016044
Account Name:
DIBP Official Administered Direct Credit Receipts Account
When making the transfer you will need to quote the number of your request –
FA 16/05/01040 – so that your payment can be identified by our Finance area. Failure to do
so may result in payments not being identified as FOI related and could result in processing
delays.
Please advise FOI when you have made the payment made by direct credit so that we can
contact the Finance area and they can issue a receipt. You should also be aware that
payments by direct credit are not processed in real time. There is at least a one day delay
between somebody paying money into the Department's account and notification of the
payment via our bank account statement.
Processing period suspended
The period for processing your request is suspended from the day that you are deemed to
have been ‘notified’ of the charge and resumes on:
• the day you indicate that you ‘agree’ to pay the charge or
• the day on which this agency makes a decision not to impose a charge.
You may indicate your agreement to pay the charge by either paying the deposit or paying
the charge in full.
Contacting the FOI Section
If you wish to discuss this matter, I can be contacted using the details provided below.
