HPCSA Annual Fee Notice for 2026/27

Dear Valued Practitioner

Notice is hereby given that the annual fees are payable by persons registered in terms of the Health Professions Act, 1974 (Act No. 56 of 1974) before 01 of April each year. The 2026/27 Annual Fees are due and payable on or before 01 April 2026.

HPCSA has increased annual fees for 2026/27 with only 3,3% for all professional boards, with a 6-year consolidated average of 2.58%. These increases were possible due to implemented cost-saving initiatives by HPCSA, which included further savings due to the implementation of Business Process Re-engineering and digital migration projects in the preceding financial years.

Current inflation is 3.50% (November 2025), and it is expected that increases may be higher in future financial years as expenditure continues to rise due to inflationary pressures.

WHEN ARE FEES DUE?

Annual fee payment – Annual fees are payable to the HPCSA by 01 April and are valid until 31 March of the following year. Please note that it is the responsibility of every registered practitioner to ensure that his/her annual fee is paid by 01 April of each year.

NB: Registered health practitioners who have not paid their annual fees by 01 April of a particular year will be suspended from the register any time from three months after the due date of 01 April.

Practitioners will receive annual fee notices for 2026/27, which will indicate any outstanding balance due. This may be less than the gazetted yearly fee, as credits on practitioner accounts may be applied.
