    Apply for a fee waiver

    You may be entitled to a fee waiver if paying the application fee would cause you financial hardship.

    To apply for a fee waiver, select this option in the Form 1 Initiating Application.

    NTCAT will email asking you to provide written reasons to support your application for a fee waiver. You may also be asked to submit supporting documentation such as:

    • proof of income;
    • proof of expenditure;
    • proof of assets;
    • proof of liabilities;
    • bank statement/s; and/or
    • letter of support from a service provider.

    NTCAT’s Registrar will consider applications for a fee waiver on a case by case basis.

    You will be advised in writing if the fee has been waived or reduced or if you are required to pay the fee in full for your initiating application to be processed.

    Fees are not refundable

    Generally, fees are not refundable unless you have paid a fee more than once or if you have paid a higher fee than the fee you are required to pay.

    Fees will not be refunded where the applicant decides to withdraw or otherwise discontinue a matter after it has been accepted by NTCAT.

    In some limited circumstances a successful applicant may be entitled to recover the application fee from the respondent.
