The fee has been set at $150. It will apply from 15 September 2017 and cover the registration period for most practitioners of 1 December 2017 to 30 November 2018.
The fee for practitioners whose principal place of practice is New South Wales is $1501.
A full fee schedule, including the fee arrangements for practitioners whose principal place of practice is NSW, is published on the Board’s website.
The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (the National Scheme) is funded by practitioners’ registration fees.

Fees support the Board in the continual development of a safe and mobile Australian workforce for health practitioners and the public in the most efficient ways possible. It also allows the Board to facilitate the provision of high quality education and training for practitioners.
