Last updated on 9 July 2024 | Print as PDF
1. Your agreement with us
This service is provided by CityLink Melbourne Limited ABN 65 070 810 678 under the brand, Linkt. Linkt and Linkt Melbourne are trade marks of Transurban Limited used under licence by CityLink Melbourne Limited ABN 65 070 810 678.
The agreement begins when you accept the agreement by:
- accepting it in writing;
- keeping the Tag device(s);
- by completing the "open an account" process on our website or app;
- accepting the agreement orally; or
- conduct (e.g. by contacting us to open an Account).
2. What to do before using CityLink
You must do the following things before using CityLink:
- complete the Application Form and provide all details required by us;
- provide the Registration Numbers, make and model and/or Class of all the vehicles to be linked to the Account; and
- make sure that the Tags linked to the Account have been allocated to the correct vehicles.
Receipt of Tags
You must install each Tag in the vehicle in line with the instructions supplied with the Tag.
Linkt Registration of the Customer's Vehicle
We agree to register your vehicles on the Linkt Register if you comply with this agreement.
Registration only takes effect when a vehicle is actually recorded as registered on the Linkt Register.
On a Commercial Account, a Tag can only be allocated to one vehicle at a time. If another vehicle is required to use the Tag, then we must be notified of the new vehicle details and Tag allocation.
Although we may send you a letter or signal your Tag to beep to inform you about certain events which affect the Linkt Registration of your vehicle, you are responsible for making sure that the Linkt Registration of your vehicle or any vehicle that you drive on CityLink is not suspended or cancelled.
If the Linkt Registration of a vehicle(s) is suspended or cancelled this means that the vehicle(s) will no longer be registered on the Linkt Register.
You may link extra Nominated Vehicles to the Account
If you wish to link an extra vehicle or an extra Tag to the Account, you must provide details of any vehicle required by us and comply with this agreement.
Sub-Accounts
You may open Sub-Accounts by contacting us.
3. Tag device and the tolling system
Installing and using the Tags
You must:
- always have each Tag in its Holder and not obstructed in any way, when the Nominated Vehicle is used on CityLink;
- only use each Tag in a Nominated Vehicle in the same Class as the Tag;
- keep each Tag in good condition; and
- promptly return a Tag to us when requested by us.
Motorcycles
Motorcycles are not required to carry a Tag. Motorcycle Trips are video tolled and do not incur No Tag In Vehicle Fees on CityLink.
Travel on CityLink
We will operate the CityLink electronic tolling system to detect vehicles that make Trips on CityLink by identifying your Tag or the vehicle's Registration Number. We will charge the relevant CityLink Tolls to your Account which may be based on your Tag, the Linkt Registration or the observed Class of your vehicle.
You are also responsible for the Tolls or fees incurred by any vehicle that you drive on CityLink, whether or not it is a Nominated Vehicle.
Travel on Eligible Toll Roads
Other Eligible Toll Road operators may operate electronic tolling systems on their toll roads to detect vehicles that make Trips on those toll roads by identifying the Tag or the vehicle's Registration Number. The Eligible Toll Road operator will send Trip data and the relevant Tolls to us so we can charge those Eligible Toll Road Tolls (and any fees if applicable) to your Account. We will charge those amounts determined as payable by the Eligible Toll Road operator and we are not responsible for confirming the accuracy of that information.
Responsibility for Tags and Nominated Vehicles
You are responsible for all Nominated Vehicles and Tags linked to the Account and for making sure that all Nominated Vehicles and Tags are used in line with this agreement.
You must procure, and are responsible for, the performance of this agreement by any employee or other person who uses a Nominated Vehicle or a Tag linked to the Account.
Although we may send a letter to the Billing Address or signal your Tag to beep to tell you about certain events which affect the Linkt Registration of the Nominated Vehicle, you are responsible for making sure that the Linkt Registration of a vehicle is not suspended or cancelled.
Where a Tag linked to the Account is detected on CityLink or an Eligible Toll Road, we need not ask which vehicle the Tag was in.
Your Nominated Vehicles must have Number Plates that conform to regulations
Your Nominated Vehicles must have clearly readable Number Plates. Number Plates and their placement must conform to the relevant regulations of the relevant registration authority (e.g. VicRoads). Vehicles other than Motorcycles must display both front and rear Number Plates. Motorcycles are required to display rear Number Plates.
4. When you should contact us
Each time a Nominated Vehicle passes through a Toll Zone, the Tag in that vehicle should "beep":
- One beep means that everything is operating normally;
- No beep means there may be a problem with the Tag. You may complete the Trip, but you must contact us before using an Eligible Toll Road again; and
- Four beeps means that the Linkt Registration of the Nominated Vehicle has been suspended or cancelled. You may receive a Toll Invoice, or if the Toll Invoice remains unpaid, an Infringement Notice. You must contact us before you travel on an Eligible Toll Road again.
You should also contact us as soon as possible when:
- a Tag, Nominated Vehicle or Number Plate is lost or stolen;
- a Tag is damaged;
- you want to remove a Nominated Vehicle from the Account or you change the Registration Number of a Nominated Vehicle which is linked to the Account or you want to link another vehicle to the Account;
- you wish to transfer a Tag from one vehicle to another within your fleet;
- you change Billing Address or other contact details (including the details of the Authorised Customer Contact);
- you become aware of anything that may or will affect a payment under this agreement;
- your Nominated Vehicle is modified after it is registered; or
- you are unsure whether your vehicle is registered in the correct Class.
5. If you do not make contact when required
A Nominated Vehicle may be removed from the Linkt Register if you do not contact us as soon as you become aware of anything that may or will affect a payment under this agreement and rectify the problem.
6. If your Nominated Vehicle or Tag is lost or stolen
We will not charge Tolls to your Account if after you have notified both the police and us that:
- your Nominated Vehicle has been stolen, we detect that Nominated Vehicle driving through a Toll Zone;
- your Tag has been lost or stolen, we detect that Tag in a Toll Zone;
- a Number Plate of your Nominated Vehicle has been stolen, we detect that Number Plate on a vehicle (if that vehicle is not your vehicle) in a Toll Zone.
We will resume charging Tolls to your Account when you notify us or we become aware that you have recovered the stolen Nominated Vehicle, lost or stolen Tag, or stolen Number Plate. You must provide a copy of any relevant police report, a statutory declaration or an insurance claim if we request it.
7. Charging Tolls to your Account
You will be charged Tolls for using CityLink which are set in line with the Act. CityLink Toll prices are available on our website or upon request. If you have given us incorrect information about the Class of your Nominated Vehicle(s) or other vehicle(s) you drive on CityLink we may charge you the applicable tolls based on the vehicle(s) correct Class.
You will be charged Tolls for using other Eligible Toll Roads which are set by the relevant Eligible Toll Road operator. These Tolls are available from the relevant Eligible Toll Road operator.
We will charge Tolls to your Account when we detect one or more of your Nominated Vehicles, Tags or the Number Plate of a Nominated Vehicle in a Toll Zone.
For each Trip that a Nominated Vehicle is detected on CityLink, we will only debit Tolls to the Account up to the Trip Cap.
On or after the Start Date for a Tag, we will charge Tolls and may debit a No Tag in Vehicle Fee to the Account for each Trip that the Tag or a Nominated Vehicle was detected on CityLink between up to three days prior to the time you originally contacted us to open the Account and that Start Date.
If a Nominated Vehicle is also linked to another Account, and that vehicle is detected on CityLink without a Tag being detected, we may choose which Account will be charged with the Tolls and any applicable fees from that Trip.
We will charge Tolls and applicable fees to your Account:
- without any knowledge of and regardless of who was driving the vehicle at the time; and
- whether or not you authorised or were aware of the use of the Nominated Vehicle.
If we have sent you a Toll Invoice in respect of any Trip(s), we may charge the applicable Toll(s) and Toll Administration Fee(s) to your Account if the Toll Invoice remains unpaid after 28 days.
8. Annual Account Fee
We will charge you the Annual Account Fee as part of the first invoice and on each anniversary of the earliest Start Date of any of your Tags.
We may charge a further Annual Account Fee in the same way for each Sub-Account you open.
9. Security
If we ask you to pay a Security Deposit, you must pay us the Security Deposit within 5 Business Days of receiving a request to do so.
If we consider you pose a credit risk at any time, we may also require you to supply additional financial security (for example a deposit or guarantee) for your obligations under this agreement within 5 Business Days of receiving a request to do so.
Security Deposits (and other deposits, guarantees or amounts which are to be treated like a Security Deposit) will not be credited to your Account.
We may use the Security Deposit (and other deposits, guarantees or amounts which are to be treated like a Security Deposit) in part or full payment (at our discretion) of any amount you owe us under this agreement.
10. Additional fees and payments
If you use CityLink without your Tag being detected
For each Trip that your Nominated Vehicle is detected using CityLink without your Tag being detected, we may, as well as charging you Tolls, debit a No Tag in Vehicle Fee to your Account, unless we are responsible for the failure to detect your Tag.
Motorcycles are not required to carry a Tag. Motorcycle Trips are video tolled and do not incur No Tag In Vehicle Fees on CityLink.
If you use CityLink in a Nominated Vehicle with a different Class from your Tag
If a person uses CityLink in a vehicle with a Tag linked to your Account which is of a different Class from that vehicle, we may debit the appropriate Tolls and applicable fees to your Account. It is your responsibility to confirm that your vehicle is registered in the correct Class at all times.
Tag Non-Return Fee
You must pay us the Tag Non-Return Fee if your Tag is lost, damaged, stolen, or you do not return your Tag to us when we require you to do so.
Payment Card Surcharge
Where you pay your Account via an accepted credit card or debit card, you may be charged a Payment Card Surcharge on the amount paid.
Other Accounts
We may apply any outstanding fees, Tolls or charges in relation to this Account to any other Linkt account you may have.
If you have an outstanding Account Balance from another Linkt account, we may credit or debit that amount to this Account.
When you agree to additional payments
We may charge to, or debit from, your Account any fee, tax, charge, or amount if you have agreed to pay, or you owe us that fee, tax, charge, or amount under this agreement.
Travel on Eligible Toll Roads
We may debit the relevant Tolls and fees charged by other Eligible Toll Road operators from your Account when your Tag or Nominated Vehicle is detected on that Eligible Toll Road.
Toll Administration Fee
If you receive a Toll Invoice you agree to pay any applicable Toll Administration Fee(s).
Late Payment Fee
If payment of the Due Payment is not received within 14 days after the end of a Payment Period, we may charge the Late Payment Fee to your Account.
11. Invoices
Electronic invoices are provided monthly free of charge if your Account has been used during that period. As soon as practical after the end of each Payment Period, we will send you a detailed invoice to your nominated invoice email address.
The Business Primary Contact is responsible for nominating an Invoice Contact and email address and for keeping this information accurate on the account.
The Invoice Contact will be notified each month and receive via email three files with Trip details. Trip information will be provided in EXCEL, PDF and CSV formats.
If you require another copy of a detailed invoice for any period, you can download a copy from our website at Linkt.com.au.
Alternatively, if you require a copy of a detailed invoice to be sent to your nominated postal address, you must pay us a One-off Detailed Invoice Fee.
If you have a Standing Authorisation Account, the Due Payment must be paid by Automatic Payment. If you have any other type of Account (i.e. not a Standing Authorisation Account), you must pay us the Due Payment by the Payment Date.
12. When is a payment made?
Payments are treated as made when we receive them.
If you are an Automatic Payment customer, we will receive your Automatic Payment when it is credited successfully to our Bank account.
If you are not an Automatic Payment customer, or if your Automatic Payment has failed or you have made other payment arrangements with us, we will receive your payments:
- if by cash or manual credit or debit card, BPAY or EFTPOS, when the person making the payment:
- in person, is given a receipt for that payment; or
- by telephone, is given a receipt number for that payment; or
- if by cheque, when the proceeds of the cheque have been cleared.
Where you pay your Account via an accepted credit card or debit card, you may be charged a Payment Card Surcharge on the amount paid. If a payment is not made successfully, we will debit the Dishonour Fee to your Account (e.g. if a cheque or direct debit is not honoured in full), unless the unsuccessful payment is our or our Bank's fault.
We may at our discretion accept late or part payments or any payment described as being in full or in part settlement of a dispute. If we do so, we will not lose any of our rights under this agreement. We may allocate any such payment against any money you owe us as we deem necessary.
You must keep your Account Balance at $4,999 or below at all times. If your Account Balance reaches $5,000 or above, we will immediately contact you and will refund you the amount required to bring your Account Balance to below $5,000.
13. Questions, complaints and disputes
If you have a dispute or wish to make a complaint about the Linkt Registration of your vehicle or a payment or an amount debited, credited or not credited to your Account, you should contact us. A customer service officer will provide a response with reasons as soon as possible.
If you believe that your dispute or complaint has not been properly addressed, you have the right to have the issue reviewed by our Customer Resolutions team who will provide a response with reasons.
If you are still not satisfied with the response, you may take your complaint to the TCO Tolling Customer Ombudsman.
If you believe there is an error (including Trips, fees, and charges) in your Invoice, we require you to tell us of any errors or discrepancies promptly. You agree that if you wish to dispute anything in an Invoice you will notify us within 60 days of the date of the Invoice, after which no claim or dispute can be raised.
Where you dispute your Due Payment, until that dispute is resolved you must continue to comply with this agreement as if the Due Payment recorded on the invoice was correct.
Where you dispute your Due Payment, we may (at our discretion):
- credit your Account for all or part of the disputed amount; or
- make other arrangements reasonably necessary to allow for the continued operation of your Account, until the dispute is resolved.
14. Changing this agreement
We may change this agreement (including any amount, fee or deposit) by:
- publishing the changes on our website, the date from which they will apply, and how you may obtain a copy of them; or
- sending a copy of the changes to your Billing Address no later than the next invoice after the effective date of the changes, except when the changes either reduce fees or charges or are as a result of changes in taxes, in which case this is not required.
We may assign this agreement to another entity responsible for levying Tolls on CityLink in the same way.
Changes to this agreement or assignment of this agreement will apply from the date stated on our website or in the copy of the changes.
This clause does not apply to Tolls, which are determined in line with the Act.
15. Suspension or cancellation
If Trips are made by vehicles that are suspended or cancelled from the Linkt Register, you will not have a valid arrangement to make Trips and you may commit an offence under the Act and receive a Toll Invoice or, if the Toll Invoice remains unpaid, an Infringement Notice.
The Linkt Registration of your vehicle is suspended or cancelled when we record it as suspended or cancelled on the Linkt Register or remove it from the Linkt Register.
We may suspend or cancel the Linkt Registration of all your Nominated Vehicles if:
- your Account, or another account you hold with us, has not been paid within the required time period;
- you do not provide a Security Deposit for each Tag linked to your Account within 5 Business Days of us asking you to pay a Security Deposit;
- you become bankrupt or appears likely to become bankrupt;
- you become insolvent or has a receiver, manager, administrator or liquidator appointed, or appears likely to do so;

- passes a resolution for winding up;
- an application is made for winding up and:
- is not dismissed or withdrawn within 30 Business Days; or
- an order is made for the company's winding up; or
- enters into an arrangement, composition or compromise with any creditors;
- we consider that a material adverse change has occurred in your credit rating;
- we are required to do so by law;
- we were induced by fraudulent misrepresentation on the Customer's part in approving the account application;
- for any other reason (including breach of this agreement by you) we reasonably consider suspension or cancellation of the Linkt Registration of your Nominated Vehicle is necessary.
If we have suspended or cancelled the Linkt Registration of your vehicle, we will send a signal to your Tag to give 4 beeps each time your Tag device passes through a Toll Zone on CityLink. You agree that this is a reasonable method of notice for us to use.
We may also notify you of suspension or cancellation by giving notice in any other way allowed under this agreement or the Act.
If you do not re-register your vehicle with us or do not make alternative arrangements to pay Tolls through another service provider and your vehicle is detected on any Eligible Toll Road after its Linkt Registration has been suspended or cancelled, the driver of that vehicle may commit an offence and receive a Toll Invoice from us or another Eligible Toll Road operator or, if the Toll Invoice remains unpaid, an Infringement Notice.
We will only investigate a Toll Invoice issued by us once you have re-registered your vehicle with us.
You may end this agreement at any time by giving us notice that you want to close your account. We will then provide you with notice that the Linkt Registration of the Nominated Vehicles linked to your account is cancelled.
If the Linkt Registration of all Nominated Vehicles linked to your Account is cancelled, then within 10 Business Days of receiving notice of that cancellation, you must:
- return all Tags to us; and
- pay any debit Account Balance and any other amount you owe us.
We will refund any Remaining Account Balance within 10 Business Days after you have met the above requirements.
16. When this agreement ends
This agreement will end 20 Business Days after the Linkt Registration of all of your Nominated Vehicles has been cancelled. The ending or cancellation of this agreement for any reason does not affect any rights that either you or we have against each other which arose at or before the end or cancellation of this agreement.
17. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable (whether in contract, tort, under statute or otherwise) for any loss (including consequential loss or loss of profit), damage or expense that you or any other person incurs arising directly or indirectly from your use of CityLink or any Eligible Toll Road, your installation, use or removal of the Tag or the Holder, or anything else in connection with this agreement.
This agreement does not affect any rights, liabilities and responsibilities arising at law, unless otherwise provided under this agreement.
Where liability cannot be excluded, any liability incurred by us in relation to the use of CityLink or any Eligible Toll Road, your installation, use or removal of the Tag or the Holder or this agreement is limited to the extent provided for by the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010).
18. General

You must return the Tag to us within 10 Business Days after we ask you to return it or within 5 Business Days after we ask you to return it if we have suspended the Linkt Registration of your Nominated Vehicles.
