Professional fees

NRC Communications costings are based on incorporating professional fees and out-of-pocket expenses.

Fee Structure

NRC is able to structure an account based on an agreed hourly rate, lump-sum project fee or a retainer. Following a client briefing, we will recommend a fee structure that provides the client with the most cost-effective method of engaging NRC Communications.

We recognise that some clients' needs will be different and as such, NRC can negotiate a package based on specific client needs and budget parameters, to incorporate both professional fees and out of pocket expenses. NRC will work to the client's budget, providing regular reports as required.

The current NRC professional hourly rates range between $85.00/per hour to $125.00/per hour plus GST, depending on the level of consultant support required. Administrative support is billed at the rate of $40.00/per hour plus GST.
