What is the cost of accreditation and how did the fees get set? Are they varied for the size of the company or does everyone pay the same rate?
The legislation allows WEA to charge application fees. The fees include, but are not limited to, applications for accreditation, renewal or surrender of accreditation, or the variation, addition or cancellation of conditions of accreditation. The Scheme, established by WEA, sets out the following application fees: • Accreditation application fee: $13,299 (incl GST) • Renewal of accreditation application fee: $7084 (incl GST) • Variation of an accreditation application fee: $6248 (incl GST) • Reconsideration of a decision application fee: $3344 (incl GST) All fees are charged on a cost recovery basis. All application fees are non-refundable and each applicant, regardless of corporate structure or size, must pay them.
