This Determination specifies the fees the ACMA charges for radiocommunications services — testing devices, issuing/renewing/transferring licences, examinations, satellite filing, spectrum services and other administrative matters. It sets hourly rates, minimums and many fixed fees, and includes GST where applicable.
Charges are payable by applicants, licensees or service recipients as listed (section 11). The Determination also creates conditional calculations and procedural distinctions (retests, online v paper submissions, instalment processing and rounding) that change who pays and how amounts are calculated.
