As an autonomous body the HPCSA receives no
grants or subsidies from government or any other source.
It is totally funded by the fees it receives from registered
persons representing the professions under its jurisdiction.
Each Professional Board, however, administers its own budget
in a transparent manner from the funds allocated by the
HPCSA, based on fees paid by various professions to Council.
Such fees are not necessarily uniform but depend on the
actual cost of running the Board; on the levy paid by the
Professional Boards to Council towards a stabilisation fund
from which Council can allocate money in contingency circumstances,
and on the cost of the running of the HPCSA.
The annual fee paid by health care professionals is used
to cover the costs of:
Running the Professional Board under the jurisdiction
of Council as well as the HPCSA and its structures
Administering the professions registered with the HPCSA
in terms of registration, maintaining of standards of
education and training as well as the maintaining of fair
standards of professional practice
Voluntary erasure, in terms of Section 19
(1) (c), possible if a person does not intend practicing
his/her profession in South Africa for a given period.
