Security & Fraud
We take your online security seriously.
Here’s how we protect you and what you should do.
We use secure systems to protect your information.
For example:
your payment card details are stored safely by our bank (not by EastLink)
we do not show full card or bank details on our systems
we block access from some high‑risk locations
we require modern, secure web browsers
We use two‑factor authentication (2FA) to protect your EastLink account.
This means:
you must enter a code sent to your phone (SMS)
or use an authenticator app to log in
This helps keep your EastLink account safe, even if:
your computer or phone is hacked
someone knows your passcode
If something does not look right with your EastLink account:
change your password immediately
contact EastLink as soon as possible
To stay safe:
do not share your passcodes
keep your contact details up to date
keep your phone secure
Scam messages (very important)
There are scams pretending to be EastLink, tollway operators and organisations like ATO, Australia Post.
A message about EastLink is most likely a scam if:
it does not include your correct details
(for example: your name and your vehicle’s licence plate number)it includes links not ending in “eastlink.com.au”
If you receive a suspicious message:
do not click any links
do not reply
do not share personal or payment details
You do not need to report it to EastLink.
