New EastLink Website

The new website works much better on mobile phone and tablet devices.

The following information is provided to help you find your way around the new website.

Account login

The account login icon is located at the top right of every page.

Your login details from the old website continue to work on the new website. As an alternative to using your account number or email address, you can also now use the Licence Plate Number (LPN) of your vehicle to login, as well as your PIN.

Please note that if you change your PIN, your new PIN needs to be 6 digits instead of the previous 4 digits.

Once logged in to your account, you can:

• check the status and balance of your account
• view toll charges and payments
• download statements
• make a payment
• upgrade to automatic payment or change payment details
• update your contact details
• add/remove vehicles to/from your account
• order tags and tag holders
• order a tag return envelope
• make any other online enquiry.

"Hamburger" menu

The "hamburger" icon is located at the top left of every page.

Click on the "hamburger" to drop down a list of menu items for you to select from. You can access all of the website's information pages from the drop down list.

New feature - search for a vehicle

Provide the Licence Plate Number (LPN) of your vehicle and the website will search our system to find:

• any outstanding toll invoices / overdue notices for the vehicle
• any unused EastLink trip passes for the vehicle
• any EastLink account that the vehicle is linked to, to help you make a payment or login.

Quick top up payment without needing to login

By providing your EastLink account number or the Licence Plate Number (LPN) of your vehicle, the website will find your account.

You can then top up your account using a debit/credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express or Diners Club). We don't charge additional fees for using any of these cards.

If you have received an EastLink toll invoice or overdue notice for unpaid travel on EastLink

You can choose to provide the reference number of the toll invoice / overdue notice, or the Licence Plate Number (LPN) of the vehicle for which a toll invoice / overdue notice was issued.

The website may find multiple toll invoices / overdue notices that are outstanding for you or your vehicle.

There are three options when settling each toll invoice / overdue notice:

• nominate someone else as the driver or owner at the time of travel
• transfer it to a tolling account (except EastLink accounts) provided your vehicle was linked to the account at the time of travel &/or is currently linked to the account.

If a request to transfer a toll invoice to a tolling account is rejected by our website then it must be paid directly with us. You may need to contact your tolling account provider to resolve a problem with your account.

You cannot transfer a toll invoice to an EastLink account. We would already have done that if it was possible.

Online application to create a new EastLink account

EastLink trip passes

One EastLink trip pass pays for a single trip in one direction on EastLink only.

If there is a valid tag installed in your vehicle, the tag will always take priority over an EastLink trip pass that has been purchased for the vehicle. So if you want to pay for your trip using an EastLink trip pass, ensure the tag is removed prior to the trip on EastLink.

Find unused trip passes

This function checks to see if there are any unused EastLink trip passes available for use by your vehicle.

You can now use the Licence Plate Number (LPN) of the vehicle to conduct this search.

CityLink is Melbourne’s network of freeways that spans a distance of approximately 22kms. The tollways consist of the North end (Citilink) which includes the Tullamarine Freeway , West Gate Freeway & Calder Freeway and the Eastern side ( Eastlink) which consists of the Monash Freeway.

In recent times, there have been several refurbishments of the Tullamarine Freeway in north-west Melbourne, as well as the building of two tunnels; the Burnley and Domain tunnels which were aimed at providing seamless transport solutions. Visitors in Melbourne should be aware that there is a fully automated tolling system which means that you will not see any toll booths along the freeways.

Citylink & Eastlink Passes & Tolls, Melbourne VIC

The tolled road is very modern and well maintained. In fact, when an accident occurs, the automated system detects a disruption on the network and sends a message to the control centre. After this, an emergency response is initiated and a rescue vehicle sent to the accident scene.

For visitors driving in Melbourne, it is important to take note of the cost of using the tolled network. Typically, the tolls are worked out depending on the road sections used. This also varies depending on the kind of vehicle used. Different rates are present for personal vehicles, motorbikes as well as commercial vehicles (both light and heavy).

To use CityLink, it is advisable to buy the pass a couple of days prior to travel in order to ensure seamless travel. However, if you accidentally drive on one of the tollways without a pass, you have 24 hours to purchase a pass in order to avoid a fine.

All payments can be made using a credit card online, or select petrol stations can accept cash as they have machines where you can purchase a toll voucher. All you need to purchase a toll ticket is the date of travel, where you intend to travel to, and the registration and type of vehicle.

There is a support forum on the network’s website where visitors can get additional help.

Current prices for tollways (travelling in a car): 24 hour Pass: $16.30 Weekend Pass: $16.30 Melbourne Pass: $5.50 + $0.75 per trip on Citilink

How do I remove a car?

The easiest way to remove a car from your account is to do it online through your account or through the Linkt app. A full guide and video on how to do this can be found at https://www.linkt.com.au/help/managing-my-account/selling-or-sold-my-vehicle/melbourne .

Alternatively, you can call Linkt customer care on 13 33 31 and they should be able to help you.

Thanks Michael

How do I purchase a 30day pass for melbourne

Although Citylink passes used to really just be for 24 hour and weekend periods, it does appear they have created a 30-day pass that seems to automatically top-up/charge on each trip (or at least when the balance threshold is reached – Your card will be debited after every $10 worth of travel).

For more information and how you can signup, please visit the page over at https://www.linkt.com.au/melbourne/accounts-and-passes/buy-a-pass/melbourne-pass .

how do I purchase a day pass for the toll way through Melbourne?

Hi Kristen,

Perhaps the easiest way to buy a day pass for CityLink would be online at https://www.linkt.com.au/melbourne/accounts-and-passes/buy-a-pass .

Alternatively, you can buy passes from participating Australia Post outlets, Coles Express outlets and Bill EXPRESS newsagents.

There is different options depending on what section of Citylink and also what days of the week you wish to travel, so i’d suggest checking out the link above.

There has been a product called Linkt that was recently launched by Citylink, but as I use Eastlink, i am unfamiliar with what had changed and how this affects infrequent travelers.

So for simplicity’s sake, I’d suggest getting the pass online or in store.

charges for the different size vehicles and how are the vehicles classified

Here is a link to the vehicle classes and you can then check your trip with the toll calculator .

Best regards, Jess

Can a pass be puchased on the spirit of tasmania

You can purchase a Citylink pass online . I don’t believe they are sold on the Spirit of Tasmania at all.

Regards, Jess
