How to become a VEU accredited person

How to apply to become accredited

Only accredited persons are able to create certificates under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. 

To apply to become an accredited person, you must;

• open a VEU account
• read the Application Guide for Accredited Persons at the bottom of this page
• complete the online accreditation form under "My Account - Accreditation and VSRA in the VEU Registry
• pay the $3,000 accreditation fee (once you have been invoiced by us)
• we will let you know if we require additional information to assess your application. 

Your accreditation will be valid for 12 months from the date it is approved and will need to be renewed annually. Applications for renewal must be submitted at least 90 calendar days before expiry.

We will decide whether to approve or refuse an application for accreditation or renewal of existing accreditation. Our assessment includes considering whether you are fit and proper, and competent and capable, to be accredited to participate in the VEU program.

Application assessment timeframes

Delays assessing accreditation renewal applications: We currently have a backlog of accreditation and renewal applications which has unfortunately resulted in delays in assessing applications. We apologise to those affected by the delay and are making every effort to work through the backlog and assess applications as quickly as possible.

We are required to make a decision on an application within a period of 20 business days, or a longer period that we agree with you. If required, we will seek your agreement to an extension of time to avoid your application being deemed refused. The period commences from the day we receive your complete application with accompanying fee.

Where we require further information in relation to your application, the timeframe may be paused to enable that information to be provided.

If you are already accredited

All accredited persons must renew their accreditation annually. Further information on when you need to make that application and how to go about making that application can be found here. Existing accredited persons may also apply to vary their accreditation, including applying to undertake new activities. More information on varying your accreditation can be found here.
