SchoolPay Terms and Conditions

Overview
We appreciate that schools, in particular, are often beholden to financial administrative processes that rely on invoicing, rather than immediate payment means. AMEB SchoolPay is how we support you to get your students enrolled via invoice. Please note that this is a form of “credit” system and, as such, the following terms and conditions must be adhered to.
SchoolPay is an on-account enrolment facility that is operated by Australian Music Examinations Board Limited (AMEB) ACN 102 374 587, for use on Our enrolment platform, SCORE. The terms and conditions set out below constitute a binding agreement between the person accessing, using, or enrolling with SchoolPay (You or Your) and AMEB.
