Payments for domestic commercial vessels

Our website is the fastest and easiest way to apply, renew, and pay for your certificate.

Once you have lodged your application, there are several ways to pay.

Payments online 

Some online applications will allow you to pay at the time of online submission.

These applications will clearly state if you are able to pay online before you start the form.

If you already have a payment reference number for your transaction, you can use our online payment portal.

BPAY and Post Billpay

Once you submit your application you will receive a fee advice containing a biller code for BPAY and a Post Billpay reference.

You can then pay your account as outlined on the fee advice.

In person at Australia Post

Your fee advice will allow you to make payment in person at any Australia Post shop

In person at one of our regional offices

You will be able to make payments in person, by appointment, at an AMSA regional office.

To make a payment you will need to have your fee advice and your VISA or Mastercard with you. We cannot accept cash.

Payments by phone

You will be able to make payments over the phone through AMSA Connect.

To make a payment you will need to have your fee advice and your VISA or Mastercard with you.

Certificates of competency
