DBA Registration Fees to Increase by CPI

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) issued a media release today announcing that the Dental Board of Australia (DBA) has set its registration fee for 2013-2014 at $586 for dentists and specialists, $522 for dental prosthetists and $290 for hygienists and therapists.

This limits the increase to the national CPI of 2.5%.

The annual renewal fee will apply from 1 August and cover the registration period for most practitioners of 1 December 2013 to 30 November 2014.

Variation in the fees payable by NSW practitioners will be announced by the Health Professional Councils Authority in NSW and detailed in their fee schedule.
