The Commission does not charge a flat fee covering the entire registration journey. Audit fees are a separate commercial cost, and your initial scope determines which audit pathway applies.

A practical preparation path
- 01
Wait for the Initial scope of audit

- 02
Compare approved auditors
Ask more than one approved auditor for a written quote with GST, travel, stages, follow-up and exclusions shown.
- 03
Separate preparation costs
Keep consultant support, policies, screening and insurance separate from the independent audit quote.
- 04
Budget for findings
Allow time and internal resources to fix issues identified during the audit; never assume a quote guarantees approval.
