Become accredited to undertake approved activities under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program.
How to become a VEU accredited person
Overview
How to become accredited
Only accredited persons are able to create certificates under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. To become an accredited person, you must:
- open a VEU account
- submit a completed application form for accreditation (together with all requested supporting documentation)
- pay the $500 accreditation fee (once you have been invoiced by us).
We will decide whether to approve or refuse an application for accreditation. We will refuse an application which does not comply with section 9 of the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target (VEET) Act.
If you are applying for accreditation, or for those already accredited, approval to undertake project-based activities, gas efficiency activities, public lighting upgrade (activity 27) or non-building based lighting upgrade (activity 35) and certain lighting upgrade activities, you will need to apply using application forms tailored for that particular activity.
Access the appropriate application form (based on the nature of the activity you wish to undertake under the program) in the application forms tab.
Application assessment timeframes
We are currently receiving a high volume of applications. We have streamlined our approval processes and allocated additional resources to ensure that applications are processed efficiently.
The table below shows the number of calendar days we have taken to assess an application, from initial submission to final approval. This includes time taken by an applicant to respond to requests for further information (RFI) and assessment of any subsequent resubmissions. These factors can significantly increase the overall assessment time.

Applications can take several months in total to finalise if they are incomplete and we need to request further information from you. To speed up the assessment time we recommend that you:
- refer to the application, program and relevant activity guides for information
- submit a complete application form along with all required supporting materials
- respond to RFIs in a timely manner addressing all aspects identified as incomplete
- apply for multiple activities in one application.
