VADR MEDIATOR ACCREDITATION APPLICATIONS
It is your responsibility to ensure that applications for reaccreditation are submitted in a timely manner. As long as the MSB has your correct email address, you should be notified 60 days before your accreditation expires, giving you plenty of time to lodge your reaccreditation application. The task of assessing and approving applications is performed by volunteers, who have other jobs. If you do not submit your application in plenty of time, your reaccreditation may be delayed until after the renewal date.
