How to become Registered as a Debt Agreement Administrator

As from 1 July 2007 ITSA’s Debt Agreement Service will

not accept a debt agreement proposal from a person unless

that person is a registered trustee, a registered debt

agreement administrator or is the administrator of not more than

five debt agreements.

Guidelines for becoming a registered debt agreement administrator set out the abilities and qualifications that a person must have to become registered, describes the application and assessment process and the Inspector-General's expectations as to the level of knowledge needed. It is strongly recommended that you read these guidelines thoroughly if you intend to apply for registration as an administrator.

In order to apply for registration you will need to complete the application form and pay the $2,000 application fee. If an individual application, rather than a company application, you will also need to obtain a Criminal database search in your name from the Australian Federal Police.
