No administration fee will apply in such a case, and you will be refunded the difference in registration fees. You will be allocated the equivalent on demand registration based on the date you registered.
Please carefully select the correct payment type noting if you are using a local Australian credit card or an International non-Australian credit card.
International credit cards attract a higher fee from the payment gateway, as such a higher surcharge is required. If the wrong payment type is selected you will be contacted to rectify the fees charged.

- Mastercard / VISA – 1.75%
- AMEX – 2.25%
