FEES AND CHARGES NO LONGER APPLICABLE

The following fees and charges are no longer applicable. Your approval is sought to remove them from the schedule of Fees and Charges. 

Quality Information Kit - The quality information kit is developed and provided to the ACT by the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA). The information contained in the kit will be available electronically in the near future at no charge. It has been recognised that not all consumers will have access to the electronic version, and on equity grounds, the paper version of the kit will be issued gratis to those individuals. Therefore the fee of $55 for this kit is no longer applicable.  

Issuing Replacement Certificates - Certificates under the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) are no longer issued, the fee of $23 is no longer applicable.
