AHPRA cuts rego fees by 30% for doctors on long-term leave

AMA Victoria president Dr Jill Tomlinson said it was a good start, but AHPRA had to go further.

Doctors who take six months of parental, disability or carer’s leave will receive a 30% fee rebate, AHPRA has announced.

It follows a long campaign by doctors against AHPRA’s registration fees, with AMA Victoria president Dr Jill Tomlinson last month describing the lack of pro rata fee options as “unfair”, “unjust” and “inefficient”.
