Fees and Levy
By law, the Board must generate sufficient revenue to cover its operating costs. To accomplish this the Board is empowered by the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 to prescribe fees and to impose a disciplinary levy.
The Board receives no funding from the government.
The Disciplinary Levy is set annually to ensure that the Board is able to manage all reasonably anticipated discipline-related costs in the following year.
The Board reviews its fees every year, and makes adjustments where necessary to ensure that they are set to achieve cost recovery only.
All changes to the Board’s fees and levy are reviewed by the Regulations Review Committee (a Parliamentary Select Committee) and are notified in advance in the Gazette.
Fee schedule
The current fees and levy charged by the Psychologists Board are set out below. Application fees are not refundable, even when an application is declined. All amounts are in NZ dollars and are inclusive of GST.
Notes
1. A current list of prescribed countries is maintained by the Board and published on its website.
2. The board’s financial year ends 31 March.
