Disallowable instrument DI2005 - 150
made under the
Dental Technicians and Dental Prosthetists Registration Act 1988, s 73 (Determination of fees)

The Dental Technicians and Dental Prosthetists Registration Act 1988 (the Act) provides for the registration of persons engaged in the performance of dental technical work or the provision of dental prosthetic services, and for related purposes.
Section 73 of the Act provides the Minister with the power to determine fees for the purpose of the Act.
This instrument revokes DI2003-115 and sets new fees for initial registration in accordance with Sections 26 and 27; for provisional registration pursuant to Section 29; for temporary registration pursuant to Section 30; for annual renewal registration pursuant to Section 34(1); entitlement to re-registration in accordance with Section 34(4); for duplicate certificate pursuant to Section 33(3); for alteration of particulars in the register pursuant to Section 36(b)(i); to inspect an entry in the register pursuant to Section 66(1)(a) and to obtain a certified copy of an entry in the register pursuant to Section 66(1)(b).

The fees for initial registration, annual renewal and other miscellaneous fees have been set at levels which reflect the administrative costs associated with those activities, and to meet the agreed costs of operating the Health Professionals Boards Secretariat.  The fees for initial registration, annual renewal and re-registration have been increased by ten percent noting that they have not been increased for two years and that revenue would be expected to fall in the absence of this increase.
