What's a rates postponement?

A rates postponement is a way of delaying the payment of your rates. Rates postponement can help you if you're on a fixed income and can't afford to pay your rates, or if you have a financial hardship that makes it difficult for you to pay your rates.

However, rates postponement does not mean that you can avoid paying your rates. You still have to pay them eventually, and the amount will increase over time due to interest and administration costs.
