Membership fees
Fees reflect your role in the supply chain and the size of your business. All fees are confirmed and approved by the ABSC Board.
Two membership categories. One clear fee structure.
Scheme Member
Annual fee based on your Australian bedding revenue. A per-mattress levy of $2 per unit is available as an alternative.
Industry Partner
Annual fee based on your total Australian revenue. Councils and local government can join as Industry Partners or as approved recyclers.
Scheme Members may choose to pay a flat levy of $2 per mattress sold rather than the annual revenue-based fee. This option suits businesses with lower sales volumes or those preferring to align costs directly with product throughput. Speak to the ABSC team to confirm which approach suits your business.

Before you apply
Fees apply to your entire Australian business, not per product range or trading name. If your organisation operates multiple brands that sell mattresses, the fee is calculated on total combined revenue.
Organisations with social enterprise or not-for-profit status are eligible for a 50% reduction on the applicable annual fee. Confirm your status at the time of application.
Annual fees can be split into two instalments on request. Contact the ABSC team to discuss payment arrangements.
Revenue information provided for fee calculation is handled confidentially. Individual or identifiable business data is never disclosed to other scheme participants.
