Accreditation Fees

 

Accreditation Fees

The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council (ANMC) is the independent accreditation authority for nursing and midwifery under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme. The table below outlines the schedule of fees for initial and subsequent full accreditation assessment and monitoring for entry level nursing and midwifery programs; and programs leading to eligibility or endorsement of nurses, midwives and nurse practitioners. It should be noted that full ANMC Accreditation is generally granted for a period of 5 years.

A fee of $5,000 will be levied for each additional site or campus where programs are being delivered and which must be visited as part of the accreditation assessment and monitoring process.
 

 Major Changes to Accredited Programs

The process of assessing a major change to an accredited program involves a similar approach to that taken for initial accreditation and will often include a visit by the assessment team to one or more sites or campuses of the education provider. The table below outlines the schedule of fees for assessment and monitoring of programs where major changes are planned for accredited programs.
