COIDA Letter of Good Standing Assistance

A valid COIDA letter of good standing is often required before you can start a contract. We help you obtain it — and keep it valid.

Letter of good standing

Proof of compliance that opens doors.

A letter of good standing is issued by the Compensation Fund to confirm that an employer is registered and up to date with its COIDA obligations.

Clients, principal contractors and tender panels often require one before work can begin. If returns or payments are outstanding, the letter may not be issued until they are resolved.

Letters are valid for a limited period, so plan renewals ahead of contract deadlines.

FAQ

Letter of good standing questions

How long is a letter of good standing valid?

Letters are valid for a limited period. Check the expiry date on your letter and plan renewals before it lapses.

Why was my letter declined?

Usually because returns of earnings or assessment payments are outstanding, or because registration details need updating.

Can I get a letter if I am not registered?

No. Registration with the Compensation Fund comes first.
