📢 AHPRA ADVOCACY UPDATE: REGISTRATION FEE DEFERRAL

AHPRA and the Medical Board of Australia have announced a new pilot allowing eligible graduating medical students to defer payment of their registration fee.

This follows ongoing advocacy from medical student organisations, including NSWMSC, AMSA, MSCV, NSWMSX and QLDMSC, highlighting the significant upfront cost of provisional registration for students transitioning into internship.

We’re pleased to see this advocacy translate into a practical change for graduating students. 🩺

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 👇

📅 Pilot opens: 9 October 2026

👩‍⚕️ Who is eligible?
Eligible Australian and New Zealand medical graduates applying for provisional registration for the first time.

💳 What is deferred?
You will still need to pay the application fee upfront, but your registration fee can be deferred until 31 March 2027.

📆 Pilot period:
Applications made between 9 October 2026 and 4 January 2027.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: DO NOT START YOUR PROVISIONAL REGISTRATION APPLICATION BEFORE 9 OCTOBER ⚠️

If you want to use the deferral option:

1️⃣ The fee deferral request must be completed first.
2️⃣ You then begin your provisional registration application.
3️⃣ The deferral cannot be applied retrospectively. If you start your application before 9 October, you will not be eligible for the pilot.

AHPRA will release further instructions on how to request the deferral closer to 9 October.

What happens when sexual harassment or lateral violence occurs within a medical cohort, and who is responsible for responding? How can Australia address training bottlenecks that delay progression and leave junior doctors facing job uncertainty?

These questions will shape medical education and early-career medicine. Before AMSA’s policies go to debate and voting at Council 3, medical students can help strengthen them at Think Tank #3.

Join us next Wednesday for two hours to review and provide feedback on five policies:

- Antimicrobial Resistance
- Vocational Training Pathways
- Response to Student Misconduct in Medical Education
- Organ & Tissue Donation
- Pharmaceutical Financing & Relationship with Industry

You’ll hear from policy teams, learn to provide constructive feedback and join mixed-university breakout discussions. No policy experience is required—just your perspective. Certificates of participation will be provided.

🗓 Wednesday 2 September
⏰ 7:30 pm AEST
📍 Online via Google Meet
⏳ Two hours

Help shape AMSA’s advocacy before these policies reach Council. Register using the QR code or at https://forms.gle/8f4cun15JHQtZiQD8.
