To have an active card in the RIW system, a yearly subscription fee is payable for each worker.

1. First year registration fee = $100+GST for the initial ID check and card issuance.
2. Annual renewal fee = $30+GST
3. Fifth year renewal fee = $85+GST (this covers the cost of a new card being issued)
4. Tenth year renewal fee = $100+GST (this covers an ID check and a new card being issued)

If a worker loses their card, the replacement fee is $85+GST.

To fast track a competency verification, the fee is $55+GST.
