Who's eligible to buy

The fuel card contract is a mandatory, whole-of-government agreement.

All NSW Government agencies are eligible

This means that all NSW Government agencies are eligible to use – and must use – this contract when buying fuel cards.

Non-agency buyers may also be eligible

You don’t have to be a NSW Government agency to buy under NSW Government contracts, panels and contracts.

But you do have to apply to become an eligible non-agency buyer. Once approved, you'll get an authorised buyer identification number (NSWBuy number). Use this number to buy through NSW Government schemes and contracts.

If you already have an NSWBuy number, you can apply using the supplier application form below.

  1. Have your NSWBuy number handy. If you don't know your organisation's number, please contact the NSW Procurement Service Centre.
  2. Get access to the FUELnet website. FUELnet gives registered users access to contract features and information. To request access, contact Fueltrac with your NSWBuy number.
  3. Select which supplier/s you'd like to receive fuel cards for.

How to manage fuel cards

Manage fuel use

You can view all contract information on FUELnet. To get access, please contact Fueltrac. You'll need your NSWBuy number.

FUELnet has many useful features for fleet managers, such as price competitiveness amongst suppliers and reports you can customise to manage fuel use.

Report lost or stolen cards

You must report lost or stolen cards so they can be hot listed to prevent any further use. You can do this by contacting the supplier's customer service centre.

Your organisation will be liable for all purchases made on the cards up to the time they are reported as lost or stolen, so we recommend reporting them as soon as possible.

Cancel cards

If you no longer need a fuel card, you must cancel and destroy it in accordance with your agency's guidelines.

Your organisation will be held liable for all purchases made on unwanted valid fuel cards which have not been cancelled and destroyed.

You can a fuel card by contacting the supplier's customer service centre. There is no fee for card cancellations.

Understand pricing

Fuel prices are made up of:

  • the weekly reference or price list
  • freight differential, where applicable
  • federal excise.

Freight differentials are costs added to the prices of petroleum products to reflect the freight cost of delivering those products. You can view freight differentials on FUELnet.

Federal excise is included in the prices invoiced by all suppliers. It's payable on all major petroleum products, including unleaded petrol and diesel, by all classes of customers including NSW Government customers.

Excise paid on diesel consumed in certain off-road uses and in certain specific industries can be claimed back. If you use fuel ineligible activities, you may claim a rebate with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). You can get a form by calling the Diesel Fuel Infoline on 1300 657 162 or via the ATO website.

How to manage complaints and disputes

If a complaint or dispute occurs, both the buyer and the supplier must first seek resolution at the agency level.
