Paying Rent

How can I pay my rent?

You can pay your rent in several ways. If you have any questions about paying your rent that is not covered on this website, please contact your Tenancy Officer.

Centrelink deduction

If you receive Centrelink payments, you can set up a Centrepay Deduction directly from your Centrelink payments. You can set this up yourself through Centrelink, or you can contact your Tenancy Officer to set up the deduction for you through Centrelink.

Cash deposit or direct debit at your Uniting Country SA (UCSA) office

You can visit your local UCSA office, or any branch of BankSA to deposit cash into the following account:

Payment reference: Your surname

Electronic Funds Transfer

You can electronically transfer funds into our bank account, on a regular basis or as you go. Please note that it can take 2 full business days for funds to be moved electronically from your bank account to ours, so make sure you set the transfer up to reach us by your rent due date.

When and how is my rent reviewed?
