  • Details of the new fees payable can be found on the VRQA website at
  • When you lodge your application for short term renewal with the VRQA an invoice will be sent for payment.There may be a reduction of the course renewal fee for each course for a short term renewal if the VRQA costs are less than the maximum fee.
  • Fees are payable prior to any assessment or other services being provided by the VRQA. Once the accreditation fee has been paid, the VRQA will assess your application.
