Notes

Transferring RTOs

There is no fee for transferring to NARA. An annual fee will be payable to NARA twelve months after the date of an RTO’s transfer and annually after the date of transfer. NARA will invoice RTOs four weeks prior to their annual fees being due.

There are some diffferences in fee arrangements for RTOs transferring their registration to NARA with Queensland as their home state. NARA annual fees for Queensland-based RTOs only will continue to be due on 1 July each year.

For more details about these fee arrangements please refer to:

Queensland  Fees - RTOs transferring to NARA 

Transferring RTOs with Queensland as their home state should use the Fee Calculation Tool for assistance in calculating their annual fee.    

Payment of Fees

Please note that ongoing registration is conditional on payment of your annual fee. NARA only accepts payment via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and TVET Australia bank account details will be provided with fee invoices to your RTO.

All payments must include your RTO's individual NARA EFT Reference Number that is provided on the tax invoice.

PLEASE NOTE: RTOs will be charged a $50 trace fee per event if the NARA EFT reference number is not identified when making payment.
