College subscriptions and fees
Please note: all our fees listed here are exclusive of GST. Membership fees are charged each year.
Member fees
All College members (which includes registrars on our training programmes) pay an annual membership subscription fee. The subscription year runs from 1 April to 31 March and invoices are sent mid-late March each year.
Training programme fees
Doctors completing their GPEP, or Division training also pay training fees for each year they are training, and these fees are invoiced separately, and in addition to our membership fees. Registrars need to be in Financial Good Standing with the College before their Fellowship will be awarded.
