Total cost was A$699 including GST for a 1 year subscription.

How to subscribe.
Go to the Microsoft Action Pack Subscription site and enrol. Do not select the option to enrol as a Microsoft Partner (prominently displayed on most of the pages) as this is not the same thing and requires you to be a Microsoft Certified Professional.
