New fee payment schedule for Trainees
In the 2008 Hospital Year the College will be introducing a new schedule for payment of training fees.
This is designed to help keep track of where Trainees are in their training program, and to identify those who may have withdrawn from the program or have deferred their training. The proposed fee schedule adheres more closely to the fee-payment procedures of most tertiary institutions.
The major changes are as follows:
- Beginning in 2008, it will be assumed that Trainees who have
started the ANZCA Training Program will continue in training unless
they notify the College that they intend to defer their training.
Prior to the start of each hospital year, trainees will be notified by
email and on the website of the annual training fee for that year.
- The 2008 Annual Training Fee will be due on:
- 31 January 2008 for Trainees in Australia and New Zealand and all other countries in non-ANZCA regions.
- 30 June 2008 for Trainees in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.
- Trainees who are not in supervised training or who are 'taking
a break' from training will be required to pay a Deferred Training
Fee. This will maintain registration, and ensures Trainees' access to
the use of the Library and protected areas of the new website, as well
as the ongoing receipt of the ANZCA Bulletin and other communications.
- A BPay facility will be added for Australian-based trainees by 31st December 2007.
- Training Fees for Singapore and Malaysia will now be payable in Australian dollars.
- Trainees
will have two months to pay their Annual Training Fee or Deferred
Training Fee. After two notifications of non-payment it will be
assumed that they have withdrawn from the program.
- Trainees in part-time training will be required to pay the full annual training fee.
- Trainees will pay no more than five Annual Training Fees in the course of their training to Fellowship, but will be required to pay Deferred Training Fees if they do not complete their training within five years.
The schedule of training fees for 2008 is as follows:
| Trainee Location |

|---|---|---|
| Due 31 January 2008 |
