A party can receive its entitlement in the following instalments:

1. Advance payment: 50% of the party's entitlement in the 2019 NSW State election paid between 1 October 2022 and before the issue of the writs for the general election (6 March 2023), and a further 25% paid after the issue of the writs.

2. Prepayment: 90% of the party's estimated entitlement for the 2023 NSW State election less the advance payments, if the entitlement amount cannot be finalised within 14 days of the claim for payment being lodged. Paid within 14 days of claim lodged (after 2023 NSW State election).

3. Final payment: the balance of the party's finalised entitlement, if the full entitlement was not paid within 14 days of claim lodgement.
