NT Fines
Hardship Support
If fine payments are difficult, contact the Northern Territory Fines Recovery Unit about current options. Meyer Institute can discuss separate psychological support. Our approved fine-credit provider status has not been confirmed.
General information · The Fines Recovery Unit decides fine arrangements. Psychology appointments do not automatically reduce fine debt. This enquiry does not pause enforcement.
The current fine-hardship pathway
People who cannot pay in full can ask about instalments or more time, and eligible payments may be arranged through Centrepay. If fines remain unpaid, enforcement action and, in some circumstances, community work can follow under the NT process.

Meyer Institute can provide clinically appropriate psychological services, including telehealth when suitable. These clinical services are separate from Fines Recovery Unit payment and enforcement arrangements. Psychology appointments do not automatically reduce fine debt.
Psychology fees and possible rebates are separate from any fine arrangement. We confirm clinical suitability, fees and cancellation terms before booking.

Ask about psychological support
