Correction: Pharmacy Council News October 2023 

Dear colleague,

The Pharmacy Council of NSW would like to issue a correction for the October 2023 edition of its newsletter.

The figures provided regarding the 2023/24 registration fees were for the NSW complaints component of the fee. The actual registration fees for NSW pharmacists are:

• $543 for general registration
• $231 for provisional registration
• $543 for limited registration
• $361 for non-practising registration

The full schedule of fees is available at the Pharmacy Board of Australia website.

The annual registration fee must be paid to Ahpra. It will cover the registration period from 1 December 2023 to 30 November 2024.

The registration fee for all NSW registered health professionals under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme comprises of two components:

• a registration and accreditation component that is independently determined by Ahpra and the relevant National Board
• a complaints component that is decided by the relevant NSW Council.

The complaints component for NSW health practitioners is subject to approval by the NSW Minister for Health under section 26A of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW).

The complaints component is a cost recovery model and is not subsidised by other health professions.
