Explanatory Note – Increase in fees

The increased fees shown follow consultation with the profession as required under section 99 of the Act. The consultation document issued on 14 October 2015 advised veterinarians of:

  1. The statutory requirement to seek to eliminate any cross-subsidisation between fee payers and the new methodology used to ensure that registration application and other fees reflect the total costs of providing these activities.
  2. The proposed 4.3% in practising certificate fees in order for the Council to continue to meet its statutory responsibilities.

On 26 November 2015, after considering the four submissions received, the Council resolved to adopt the fees set out in this notice.

1 Under section 97(1)(i) of the Act, the Council may prescribe an additional fee to be paid if a prescribed fee is paid after its due date. The Council uses this section to rebate the APC fee by a specified amount for early payment by a specified date, which ensures earlier renewal.

2 Registration in this scope allows those who have passed the preliminary part of the joint Australasian National Veterinary Examination (NVE) to gain practical experience under direct veterinary supervision prior to sitting the final part of NVE. Registration lapses on the day the results of the final examination are released.
