Before you submit your application for CRICOS registration, make sure you have completed all the required preparation documents.

We process all applications for initial RTO registration through our online portal, asqanet. You will need to sign-up for an account if it is your first time using this service portal.

Once you have submitted your application, you will receive an initial invoice for a lodgement fee. This fee covers the initial processing and assessment of your application.

Please note that ASQA will not begin processing your application until you pay the lodgement fee in full.

Submit your application via asqanet

CRICOS application fees

There are two core fees associated with your CRICOS application:

You will be invoiced for the application fee when you submit your application. This fee must be paid for us to progress your application and undertake a preliminary review.

When we have finished conducting our preliminary review, we will invoice you for the initial assessment fee.

The total amount (including both fees) you will pay is capped at $50,000 per application.

If you are successful in gaining CRICOS registration, you will also be subject to:

• other ASQA fees and charges—for a full list, read the Guide to ASQA fees and charges (PDF)
• all applicable Department of Education fees and charges.
