Was Professor Steve Robson right when he called the rego fee 'extortionate'?

What does it cost to be a doctor?

Not the cost of becoming a doctor but just the cost of having your name on the medical register come October 1.

This year, the annual rego fee (for most doctors) reached four figures — $1027.

This was more than symbolic, according to then–AMA president Professor Steve Robson, it was “extortionate”.
