1. No. 2. The Department of Consumer and Employment Protection currently receives a large number of payments from customers through conventional means such as credit cards, cash and cheque payments. 3. DOCEP has developed a comprehensive On-line Service Plan, in line with the Government’s initiative, which is currently being implemented. A range of business products will come on-line at various stages during the next two years. For example, REVS On-line (Register of Encumbered Vehicles) will be available on-line by the end of 2003. WORKCOVER WA (1) No. (2) License fees, seminar/training courses are not paid on-line. (3) License fees are payable using electronic funds transfer and seminar/training courses are payable with credit card. On-line payment will be provided when there is evidence of stronger demand for this facility. WESTERN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COMMISSION (1) No. (2) Application fees and payment for transcript.

(3) Regulations have been reviewed and the Web site is being redeveloped to allow for online lodgement and payment. It is estimated that this facility will be available by the end of 2003 at the discretion of the Commission.

Invoices raised by DIA are low in volume, adhoc and irregular in nature.
