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.

How to stay safe

If you are unsure about an EastLink account message:

  • go directly to the EastLink website www.eastlink.com.au

  • log in to your account with your passcode and 2-factor authentication

  • do not use links in emails or SMS

  • once logged in, check your account status

If you are unsure about an EastLink toll invoice message:

  • go directly to the EastLink website www.eastlink.com.au

  • do not use links in emails or SMS

  • use the PAY TOLL INVOICE option

  • enter your vehicle licence plate number

  • any outstanding EastLink invoices will be listed

  • the website will say if there are no outstanding invoices

  • keep your device software up to date

  • use security software (antivirus)

  • keep your EastLink account passcode secure

  • change your passcode periodically

  • keep your phone secure
