Reapplying for an Assessment of Eligibility
Candidates who do not successfully complete the oral and written examination requirements within three years of assessment of their eligibility will need to re-apply for a new Assessment of Eligibility to sit the DAA Examinations in Dietetics and pay the appropriate fee in full.
Cancellation fees
If the examination cannot be offered in the candidate’s preferred city, and an alternative location acceptable to the candidate cannot be offered, the fee will be refunded in full. Once candidates have applied and been accepted for a particular examination session, withdrawal will result in a cancellation fee being charged. If notice of withdrawal is received by DAA at least 4 weeks prior to the examination, a cancellation fee of $AUD 207 will apply. This will be deducted from the amount of the examination fee refunded. The examination fee will be forfeited altogether if withdrawal is less that four weeks before the examination unless a medical certificate is provided, in which case the $AUD 207 cancellation fee will apply.
These fees were current at the time of this website update, however, they may change from time to time.
Financial support for overseas trained professionals
