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:
