Annual indexation to application fees for RAC industry permits

The Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Regulations 1995 allow for the annual indexation of permit application fees.

The annual indexation formula uses the Wage Price Index (WPI) figures published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Consistent with the WPI figures released in November 2018, refrigeration and air conditioning industry permit application fees will increase by 2.282 per cent from 1 January 2019.

Also, from 1 January 2019, the default duration for refrigerant handling licences and trading authorisations will be three years, except for refrigerant trainee licences which will remain at one year. You can apply for a licence or authorisation of a shorter duration, for example for one or two years, by contacting the ARC via email at enquire@arctick.org

A table outlining the current fees and fees for 2019 is below.
