We’ve summarised the eligibility requirements in our below brochure, along with a request form for an accountant’s certificate. Please read the information in the brochure in conjunction with the information provided by the Victorian Government (links are in the brochure) to make an assessment to your eligibility.
Once you beleive you meet all the criteria, fill out the request form at the end and send it to admin@mcaaccountants.com.au along with:
