Payment of the Board's fee for consideration of your application

Applicants will receive an email from no-reply@bpoint.com.au no later than COB, 35 days prior to the sittings requesting payment of the Board's fee. This email will contain a link to arrange payment by debit/credit card which will be processed through a secure BPoint payment portal. The Board's staff are unable to issue payment links prior to the timeframe outlined above.

You must ensure you save a copy of the receipt after payment has been approved. This is necessary as you are required to exhibit a copy of your receipt to your affidavit of compliance as evidence of compliance with Rule 13(3)(b) of the Supreme Court (Admission) Rules 2004.

If you have previously paid the Board's fee by credit/debit card over the phone, you are not required to exhibit a copy to your affidavit of compliance however, please provide a copy of your receipt for inclusion within your file. 

If you are seeking admission and your firm wishes to make a bulk payment, please see the following options available:

• CHEQUE: Provide a cheque made out to ‘Legal Practitioners Admissions Board’. The cheque may be provided by post or over the counter to Reception at Law Society House. The cheque should be accompanied by a list of applicants (may be provided via email) for which the payment is applicable (please provide each applicant’s full name as per their Form 1)
• DEBIT/CREDIT CARD: Email the Board a list of applicants for which the payment is applicable (please provide each applicant’s full name as per their Form 1) and the Board’s staff will contact the firm to arrange payment by debit/credit card over the phone

A receipt will be issued via email to the relevant person at the firm, which can then be forwarded to each applicant.
