Registration fees for Australian pharmacists for 2016/17 have been set at $328 for general registration, with the increase limited to the consumer price index.
The new fee will apply from 01 Sep 2016 and cover the registration period for most pharmacists of 01 Dec 2016-30 Nov 2017.
Pharmacy Board of Australia chairman William Kelly said the decision to limit the increase to indexation "ensures pharmacists are not unduly burdened but still provides sufficient income to allow the Board to meet its obligations in protecting the public".
The fee is also $328 for limited and non-practising registration - for the full schedule of levies see www.pharmacyboard.gov.au.
