Background
One
of the common queries through the National Office is for a ‘scale
of fees’ to assist practices set a fee for clients.
These
scales had previously been developed for members’ use. However
in 2003, the ACCC warned all professional associations and institutes
that such use of fee scales was anti-competitive.
AILA
subsequently withdrew its endorsement for the previous fee scale and
guidelines.
The next step therefore is to encourage members to supply information
on the current fees being charged and accepted in the market place.
The results of this survey will be used as a base of information to
be made available for members.
In
2002 and 2003 preliminary work and consultations to develop information
of fees was carried out. This results of this work, plus some other
information gathered from a couple of practices, has formed the basis
for parts of this first draft.
The
Institute intends to publish, as soon as possible, a new, up-to-date
and, hopefully, ‘user-friendly’ version of the Commonly
Charged Fees Report. To achieve this, we need your help. We aim to
report the range of fees for size and type of project, nature of services
provided and regional differences. But all this relies on membership
feedback, so over to you.
