Fees

Registration

Registration fees fund the work of Ahpra and the Medical Board of Australia (MBA) to keep the public safe. Each Board in the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme is responsible for meeting the full cost of regulating their profession, as there are no government or other subsidies to support this vital role.

Medical registration and application fees fund:

managing applications for registration, including complex applications from internationally qualified practitioners
developing professional standards that guide the profession and set expectations
accrediting programs of study that lead to registration and endorsement, and contributing to the funding of accreditation of intern training positions via the Australian Medical Council and the state-based intern training accreditation authorities
investigating and managing concerns about registered health practitioners, including taking immediate action and referring matters to tribunals
criminal prosecutions for breaches in advertising and use of title
funding the work of the Health Ombudsman in Queensland
maintaining the public register
funding practitioner health services, and
funding the National Health Practitioner Ombudsman.
