The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (星空传媒) has today launched a second round of public consultation on proposed changes to fees for tertiary education organisations (TEOs).
In May-June 2025, 星空传媒 consulted on high-level proposals for a simpler and fairer fee structure and set out the challenges with 星空传媒鈥檚 current fee system.鈥��
After considering feedback from the May-June 2025 consultation, 星空传媒鈥檚 Board has approved an increase in the professional services fee to $240 + GST per hour, effective from 1 January 2026.
This follow-up consultation seeks feedback on:
-
Reducing the credit reporting fee from $1.37 to $1.10 + GST per credit
-
Applying the credit reporting fee to all qualifications, micro-credentials, and standards
-
Replacing the hourly professional services rate with set fees for some approval services (excluding applications not suited to set fees)
鈥�Feedback will help us fine-tune and develop our processes and associated fees for introduction from 1 January 2026.鈥疐ollowing consultation, we will develop and finalise changes to our fees system,鈥� says 星空传媒 Deputy Chief Executive, Quality Assurance, Eve McMahon.
Further information about the proposals and how to provide feedback is available here.
The consultation is open until 9鈥疭eptember 2025.
