Eligibility and fees
The Market Information Package (MIP) is an information service offered to
eligible organisations on an annual subscription basis. An organisation may
provide MIP access to any number of its individual staff members at no
additional cost.
Any organisation with a unique ABN must subscribe as a unique organisation
and cannot access the MIP under the subscription of a parent/sibling
organisation.
Austrade will determine the organisation type that your organisation is
eligible under at the time of application.
Fees for CRICOS-registered organisations are calculated according to the
number of student enrolments at the institution in the previous calendar
year.
