Update: The Westpac PaymentsPlus sign-in page now presents two options: Facility portal and Supplier portal.
If you are a provider receiving TAC payments, please click on the Supplier portal to sign in. See details.
If you invoice via HICAPS Digital Claims
Providers who use the HICAPS Digital Claims platform (previously called LanternPay) can submit TAC invoices online and get payment confirmation, all within the platform.

FAQs for providers new to Westpac PaymentsPlus
I haven’t received an email with an invitation to register for Westpac PaymentsPlus.

I've tried to register but I'm not getting the verification email
If your email is correct please check your junk mail or ensure you adjust your settings to receive these emails.
This can be done by reviewing your current public DNS listings and confirming that 'bank notifications' and 'qvalent' are included (and are lowercase).
How long after I get paid will I receive my remittance?
The next day. You can access your remittance in Westpac PaymentsPlus within 24 hours of payment.
What if I still want paper remittances mailed to me?
We no longer offer mailed paper remittances. TAC remittances can be accessed via Westpac PaymentsPlus.
How far back can I access my remittances?
The date of your registration with Westpac PaymentsPlus. All remittances from that point will be available to you.
If I use HICAPS Digital Claims for all of my TAC invoicing, do I need to register for Westpac PaymentsPlus?
No. Westpac PaymentsPlus is needed only to access remittances for invoices sent by email or post.
When you submit an invoice online through HICAPS Digital Claims, all payment confirmation takes place within the HICAPS Digital Claims platform.
What if I use HICAPS Digital Claims to invoice for some services, and use email or post to invoice for other services?
If you use HICAPS Digital Claims exclusively, there is no need to register for Westpac PaymentsPlus.
But if you email or post an invoice for any service delivered to a TAC client, Westpac PaymentsPlus is the only way to access a remittance for that payment.
