The Paramedicine Accreditation Committee (the Committee) sets the fees for accreditation assessments, monitoring and annual accreditation on a cost recovery basis and the Paramedicine Board of Australia (Board) approves the fees. The fees are reviewed on a regular basis and may change from time to time.
The current approved fee for initial accreditation assessment of a paramedicine program delivered at one site is $31,827 (GST-free). This amount is applicable until 31 December 2026.
This fee includes one site visit. Different fees apply if:

A full accreditation assessment may not be required for programs that have completed an assessment against the 2020 Accreditation Standards for paramedicine. With the planned release of the 2026 Accreditation Standards for paramedicine, education providers will be assessed via a transitional assessment to determine how the education provider and its program/s meet the revised standards.
The annual accreditation fee helps to support the work of the Committee to ensure it continues to be satisfied that each education provider on the Board’s list of approved programs continues to meet the accreditation standards. This work is required under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law as in force in each state and territory (National Law).
The fee does not include the cost of any site visits or a detailed accreditation assessment of an education provider on the Board’s list of approved programs. Additional fees apply if the Committee decides that, based on its monitoring of a particular approved program, a site visit / monitoring visit or detailed accreditation assessment is required to ensure the Committee continues to be satisfied the program and provider meet the accreditation standards.
The introduction of the condition or monitoring requirement fee commences in 2026. If the Committee imposes a new condition or monitoring requirement on an existing program the fee will not be applied as the education provider will have 12 months to respond. If the education provider submits a second response to the condition and/or monitoring requirement and the Committee agrees it continues to not be met, then the Committee may impose the fee. The fee will be applied on an annual basis until the condition and/or monitoring requirement is addressed. The Committee can also decide if other monitoring tools may be applied instead of the fee such as meeting with program/executive staff either in person or via videoconference or a monitoring visit is required.
