RTO setup costs

The cost of RTO setup varies between clients, but some factors remain consistent. In our experience, preparing to submit an application takes between three to six months. Labour costs required to complete an application can be substantial – especially for organisations applying for the first time. RTOs must account for resources, staffing, delivery locations, RTO validation and more. Once the application is ready, the cost of applying to have ASQA assess the application is $8500. Clients must allow a further six months for this assessment process to take place. View our pricing for initial registration.
