How do I apply for a payment plan?

Currently, payment plans are only available to FRANZCOG trainees and Subspecialty trainees, and a new application is required each year, as payment plans do not roll over automatically.

ÌýThe Payment Plan Application Form will be available once the annual training fee invoice is issued. You must complete and submit the form by 31 January each year.

Once your application is approved, you will receive a Payment Plan Activation Guide, please ensure your payment plan is activated before the 1st instalment date to avoid missed payments.

How does the payment plan work?

The total payable amount is divided into four instalments, which are automatically debited from your nominated credit card on the following dates:

  • 1st Instalment: 15th April current year
  • 2nd Instalment: 15th July current year
  • 3rd Instalment: 15th October current year
  • 4th Instalment: 15th January following year

What happens if a payment plan instalment fails?

If an instalment fails due to insufficient fund or an invalid card, a second attempt will occur within 3 days. Please make sure your credit card details are up to date and sufficient funds are available prior to the second attempt.

If two instalments fail consecutively, the College will contact you to arrange manual payment.
