What you need to know
Verification audits cost $1,500-$3,000. Certification audits cost $4,000-$12,000+ depending on size, scope and travel. Provider Scale's $999 done-for-you package is the lowest-priced full-service option in the market — you pay only the auditor fee on top. Full consultancy from competitors like Provider Plus runs $5,000-$30,000.
The trend
Audit demand is rising as providers prepare for 2026 SIL/behaviour-support mandatory registration and 2027 broader expansion. Auditor pricing has firmed but not yet jumped.
