    Refer to your tenancy agreement.   It should be in the form shown here:

    https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/pdfs/tenants_and_home_owners/residential_tenancy_agreement.pdf

    That form  makes provision for a start and end date.  Of course 6 months does not exactly match up with a specific number of fortnights, and it varies according to when you took out the lease, and whether there was an extra day in  February for a leap year. 

    From what you say the agent is wrong, they can’t charge you more than specified in the agreement, nor charge you twice for the same day.  It’s a bit disconcerting that they can’t get these basics right.  Ask to see the principal of the agency, if he/she doesn’t see reason then you could take the matter further for resolution.
