The Chinese Medicine Board of Australia and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) have announced the annual registration fee for Chinese medicine practitioners for 2024/25.
From 18 September, the registration fee for Chinese medicine practitioners will remain frozen at $512.
The fee covers the registration period from 1 December 2025 to 30 November 2026.
‘The Board understands the cost-of-living pressures felt by many practitioners. We’re pleased to be able to freeze fees this year; while still ensuring we can continue our vital role to keep the public safe,’ Chinese Medicine Board Chair, Adjunct Professor Danforn Lim said.
‘Setting fair and sustainable fees is a priority for the Board.’
Registration fees fund the work of National Boards and Ahpra to keep the public safe by:
The National Boards and Ahpra have also this year introduced a 30 per cent rebate on annual renewal fees for practitioners who have recently taken an extended period of parental leave, or certain other forms of leave such as disability and carer’s leave.
‘This first step in a range of measures to makes fee arrangements fairer and more flexible,’ Adjunct Professor Lim said.
Recommendations from a wider review into pro-rata fees are expected in November with approved changes to come into effect from 1 July 2026.
In NSW, notifications (complaints) about registered health practitioners are managed by the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission and the NSW Health Professional Councils and not by Ahpra. The registration fee for health practitioners whose principal place of practice (PPP) is NSW reflects this difference.
The fees schedule for each profession is published on National Board websites. Any variation to the fees payable by NSW-based practitioners is announced by each NSW Health Professional Council and detailed in the published fee schedules on National Board websites.
