Your registration fee is determined by your business classification. A non-refundable $300 lodgement fee is payable when you apply. After your registration fee has been calculated and your application is reviewed, you'll be invoiced for the outstanding balance.
A renewal fee is payable each year when your registration expires.
For more information about what class of business you are, see the Department of Health website.
