Fees and charges consultation
Higher education providers are invited to give their feedback about TEQSA’s proposed updates to our fees and charges to take effect from 1 January 2025.
TEQSA has reviewed the operation of the fees and charges outlined in our Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS) to ensure it fairly and accurately reflects the cost of our regulatory activities.
As a result, TEQSA is proposing changes to how the annual Registered Higher Education Provider (RHEP) charge is calculated.
These proposed changes will ensure the costs of our sector-wide compliance activities and updates to our enquiries management and provider liaison approach are fairly recovered.
If adopted, these changes will reduce the RHEP charge for smaller providers while increasing costs for larger providers that are responsible for a greater proportion of TEQSA’s sector-wide compliance activities.
These activities include matters such as to safety and wellbeing on campus, freedom of speech and academic freedom, and the governance of institutional responses to wage underpayments.
TEQSA will consider all feedback when developing an updated version of the CRIS. We expect that the updated CRIS and any changes to our fees and charges for 2025 will be approved and shared in November.
The consultation will close at 5:00pm (AEDT) on Monday 28 October 2024.
