1.5 Fees

The Fee schedules are subject to change. TRA will give reasonable notice of any proposed fee increases or decreases. Notices regarding proposed fee changes will be published on the TRA website and once changes are in effect, will also be published in the relevant program guidelines.

Payment must be made when you complete the online application and may only be made using a Visa or MasterCard credit/debit card through the online portal. All fees are payable in Australian dollars and instructions on how to pay are provided online when you apply.
After payment, a printable receipt will be displayed, and a copy will be sent to the email address nominated in your application. Please retain the email receipt as evidence of payment.

If a successful outcome has been issued and TRA later determines that your application fee is invalid, TRA may write to you to advise the assessment is no longer considered successful. TRA will advise the Department of Home Affairs accordingly.

1.5.1. Fee refunds

Refunds will not be provided should you choose to withdraw your application after an assessment has commenced.

The circumstances in which TRA will refund a payment are detailed in the TRA Fees, Payment and
