How much does it cost to become a Registered Training
Organisation?
In 2006 the Minister for Education and Training approved a
new structure to formalise and enable future reviews of fees. As
a result, fees for registration of training organisations are
directly linked to Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases,
ensuring a more consistent and equitable approach to the review
of fees. As part of the new structure, fees for registration of
training providers are reviewed automatically each year.
Registration fees for RTOs were first introduced in 2001 and
were last increased in 2006. As there has not been an increase
in fees for the registration process for the last two years, it
is proposed that a two year CPI adjustment (8.36%) be applied
and become effective from 1 September 2008.
The schedule of fees for the registration process is
as follows:
| Type |
Fee |
| Application fee |
$465 non refundable fee payable for applications for
initial registration and for each subsequent renewal of
registration application. |
| Annual fee |
A fee of $465 is payable annually by all RTOs to
maintain registration. |
| Registration fee |
Registration fees are payable based on the number of
industry areas that are to be audited for initial and
renewal of registration: $1625 - up to two industry
areas;
$495 - each additional industry area. |
| Amendment to Registration fees |
$995 ($495 for each additional industry area). |
