Mail your payment

Only cheques, bank drafts and Postal Orders will be accepted by mail.

If you mail your payment, you must ensure that you allow sufficient time for the payment to reach QUT by the due date. QUT will not be responsible for the security of any payment sent by mail or for any delays in posting. Payments mailed to QUT on the due date or census date will not be considered as they reach QUT after the due date.

If you send a personal cheque to QUT, you must ensure that you have sufficient funds to cover the amount. Dishonoured cheques will attract a $20 penalty fee.

Payments can be mailed to GPO Box 2434, Brisbane Qld 4001.
