Payments to Council and examination fees
On a yearly basis registrees must pay their maintenance fees to continue to practice legally in the industry. If maintenance fees are not paid, veterinary technologist professionals forfeit their registration (they are removed from the register) and may no longer practice in the industry. Registrees who did not register in-time (within three years of being removed from the register), can re-register. If more than three years have lapsed since de-registration, please refer to this page for more information.
You can download invoices and statements inside your Registree Portal account under “Account”. The fees for the financial year 1 April 2024 – 31 March 2025 are listed below. All prices include VAT.
