Making payments
Account details for payments have changed.
To avoid delays in processing your foreign investment submission, it’s important that you pay fees into the correct account.
When paying fees for submissions made in the new Foreign Investment Portal:
- You must use the new account details.
- These details will become available in the portal, once you’ve submitted your foreign investment proposal.
When paying fees for submissions made in the old FIRB Application Portal:
- You must pay fees into the nominated account advised on your previously issued Fee Estimate.
Access the old portal
The FIRB Application Portal will remain available in read only mode until 30 June 2025. You can no longer use this portal to submit foreign investment proposals.
You have until 30 June 2025 to download any historical submissions or draft proposals.
After 30 June 2025, this portal will be removed from the foreign investment website, and historical submissions will no longer be accessible.
However, you can still make payments for submissions lodged through the FIRB Application Portal, even once the old portal is removed.
