Program accreditation payment
Education providers will be invoiced for program accreditation assessment in the pre-assessment phase of the accreditation process. ANMAC has a 30 day term of payment and payment must be received for program assessment to commence.
For questions about payment, please contact accounts@anmac.org.au or 02 6274 9167.
Program change fee
Education providers will be advised at the time of application of any cost associated with the assessment of changes to an approved program.
Program monitoring fee
ANMAC may invoice education providers recovery costs for a site visit when an outcome of an ANMAC review deems this to be a necessary part of program monitoring. A review is instigated in response to concerns that an approved program may no longer meet relevant accreditation standards, for example, due to receipt of a complaint that relates to a breach in accreditation standards.
Additional fees
ANMAC will adjust fees where the assessment process varies from those shown in the fee schedule above, for example, where:
- there are more than two sites from which the program is offered
- multiple programs are submitted by the same education provider with related material
- there are grounds for undertaking a site visit for monitoring purposes.
Refunds
An education provider may be eligible for a refund if they withdraw a program after the assessment process has started. Any refund is determined by how much work has been completed. An education provider is not eligible for a refund after ANMAC has conducted a site visit. All refunds are at the discretion of the ANMAC Chief Executive Officer.
