Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade - 6.4 7.4 8.1 8.8

The Government will increase passport fees by 4 per cent, with effect from 1 July 2008. This measure has an ongoing gain to revenue which is estimated to be $30.7 million over the forward estimates period. The forward estimates already include a provision for the indexation of passport fees, which has offset part of the revenue impact of this measure.

The standard adult passport fee will increase from $200 to $208, while the passport fee for children and seniors will increase from $100 to $104. All other categories of passport fees will also increase.
