NAITD is funded through a licensing agreement

NAITD is predominantly funded by the use of a three - year renewable licensing agreement. The agreement also forms part of the terms and conditions of accreditation, along with the use, promotion and marketing of the symbol.

The license is not transferable without NAITD’s written approval. It also commits businesses to continually strive for higher standards and to apply ethical work practices. The licensing agreement also aims to offer some protection to NAITD, consumers and those that have earned accreditation.

Businesses pay fees towards

As with most organisations be they charities, private companies, non profit groups or government agencies, NAITD requires funds to function. The license fees contribute towards:

• creating awareness and the education of consumers and businesses regarding this initiative

• monitoring the standards provided by approved service providers

• assisting with complaint handling, mediation and conflict resolution

• protection against misleading or unauthorised use of the trademark

• processing applications for accreditation

• marketing and the promotion of the program and trademark

• administration of NAITD including the licensing of service providers

• development and upkeep of a national compiler and data base

What are the costs?

The costs consist of a non – refundable processing fee, an administration and collective marketing fee plus GST. In labor terms, the costs would equal approximately a half an hour’s labor per week. In most cases the costs would be less than placing a very small advertisement hidden among the many, on a weekly basis in the classified section of a local newspaper.
 

Size, employees or turnover doesn’t matter

NAITD does not rely on size, number of employees or percentages of turnover, to fund this initiative. Individual operators, small businesses or companies, are not disadvantaged by size or turnover, and most can still afford to be part of the program.

Payment options:

In most cases, payment options are flexible and may be tailored to suit individual needs.
