Our new Compliments, Suggestions and Complaints policy encourages feedback and documents LEADR’s commitment to respond sensitively, to address the matters promptly and even-handedly and to learn from the feedback. Registration fee – nationally accredited mediators On 1 March 2012, the MSB introduced a registration fee of $100 (including GST) payable at the time of accreditation or re-accreditation and thereafter every two years on each succeeding re-accreditation. Registration fees are being used to establish and maintain a register of nationally accredited mediators. As your RMAB, LEADR is collecting the $100 for the two year period of your national accreditation. LEADR retains $10 to contribute to the administrative expenses of collecting these fees and remits the remaining $90 to the MSB.
