Monetary Penalties Community Service

Dyslexic font

There are cases where a court imposes a fine, or an infringement notice is issued for non-payment of a fine or penalty, and an individual cannot pay.

These individuals can apply to the Monetary Penalties Enforcement Service (MPES). The amount owing is converted to Monetary Penalty Community Service (MPCS) hours.

If an applicant has the financial means to pay the monetary penalty, by instalments or otherwise, the Director must refuse the application.

If you would like to apply for MPCS, please visit the MPES website.

There is no limit to the number of hours that can be made under MPCS.
