Operational Fees

The National Telematics Framework supports applications with different levels of assurance.

The costs of providing assurance through the Framework are met by Application Service Providers (ASPs) through Operational Fees.  

Operational Fees are applied by TCA on a monthly basis according to:

• The number of vehicles monitored by each ASP through one or more applications of the National Telematics Framework
• The level of assurance provided by TCA for each application.

Where an individual vehicle is enrolled in multiple applications with different levels of assurance with the same ASP, only one Operational Fee will be applied by TCA (the application with the highest level of assurance).

Operational Fees for each level of assurance

Level of Assurance	Applications	Operational Fee to 31 December 2020 per month, per vehicle (excl. GST)	Operational Fee from 1 January 2021 per month, per vehicle (excl. GST)
Level 1	Road Infrastructure Management (RIM)1	$10 ($11 for ASPs using a non-standard data transfer method)	$10
Level 2	Telematics Monitoring Application (TMA)	$20 ($22 for ASPs using a non-standard data transfer method)	$20
Level 3	Intelligent Access Program (IAP)	$41 ($43 for ASPs using a non-standard data transfer method)1	$41 ($43 for ASPs using a non-standard data transfer method)1

Notes

1. Operational Fees for Level 3 Assurance were maintained at $41 (excl GST) from 1 January 2020 for ASPs who used the Telematics Data Exchange (the standardised data transfer method used within the National Telematics Framework).
