Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the application process take?
The timescale depends on how quickly we receive your references and, where applicable, complete your external vetting visit.
What happens after I submit my application?
Once your application and supporting documents have been received, we’ll review your information, request references and keep you updated throughout the process.
What is external vetting?
External vetting applies to Accredited Contractor applicants. A BALI Vetting Officer will arrange a visit to review your business practices against the BALI Quality Standard.
How do I prepare for my vetting visit?
We’ll provide the relevant information beforehand. We recommend reviewing the BALI Quality Standard so you understand what will be assessed and can identify any areas that may need attention.
What happens if I don’t meet all the requirements?
Our Vetting Officers take a supportive approach and will explain any areas that need improvement. You’ll be given an opportunity to make the required changes and provide evidence before your application is approved.
What happens once my application is approved?
We’ll issue your membership contract and invoice for the membership fees. Once payment is received, your membership becomes active and you’ll receive your Welcome to BALI email with access to your Members’ Area and BALI logo.
