Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia sets fee for 2023/24

20 Sep 2023

The Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (the Board) and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) have announced the annual registration fee for the medical radiation practice profession for 2023/24.

The registration fee for medical radiation practitioners will increase from $203 to $209 (3 per cent increase) from 20 September 2023. This will cover the registration period from 1 December 2023 to 30 November 2024.

‘Keeping fees as low as possible, while ensuring we can meet our regulatory obligations is an ongoing priority for the Board,’ Medical Radiation Practice Board Chair Cara Miller said.

Registration fees fund our work

Registration fees fund the work of Ahpra and the National Board in:

• managing applications for registration and renewal of registration
• developing professional standards that guide the profession and set expectations
• 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
• accrediting and approving programs of study that lead to registration and endorsement
• funding the work of the Health Ombudsman in Queensland and the National Health Practitioner Ombudsman.

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme is self-funded with each Board responsible for meeting the full costs of regulating their profession, and there is no cross subsidisation.
