RANZCR/NATA Accreditation Program - Site Examples of Costs
  • The current hourly rate for the NATA staff officer is $202.
  • A document review would only be required once per any group practice if the quality manual is applicable to all sites.
  • If a site is part of Corporate Accreditation (i.e. part of a group practice with a uniformed quality management system applied across all sites) ongoing annual fees are reduced.
  • After the initial assessment visit, all costs associated with future routine reassessments, to be conducted once every three years, will be covered by the on-going annual fees.
