We are delighted to announce that New Farm State School now offers additional payment options to facilitate smoother transactions for our valued families. We are now accepting Centrepay and BasicsCards as valid forms of payment for school fees.

The BasicsCard, a secure PIN-protected card, is utilised by individuals under income management, enabling them to use their allocated funds for purchasing goods and services. This card can be conveniently used at a variety of approved merchants and establishments. Moreover, existing EFTPOS terminals can seamlessly process payments made with the BasicsCard. We now accept BasicsCard in our front admin.

In addition, Centrepay presents a voluntary bill-paying service that is provided free of charge for Centrelink customers. Through Centrepay, individuals can arrange for regular deductions from their Centrelink payments, offering flexibility in managing their financial commitments. With Centrepay, users have the freedom to initiate, modify, or cease deductions at their discretion.

Should you have any inquiries or require further assistance regarding these payment methods, please do not hesitate to contact me at businessmanager@newfarmss.eq.edu.au.

We hope that these new payment options contribute to a more convenient and streamlined experience for our school community.
