Payment of 2025/26 Annual GP HPCSA Fee of R3242.00 is due by 1.4.2025 – use your credit card and your log in details to pay via the HPCSA Online Renewal and Payment Portal via the link below.

Council launched an Online Renewal Portal in March 2017 to enable practitioners to renew annual fees online. HPCSA urges practitioners to use the Online Portal https://hpcsaonline.custhelp.com/

For assistance with using the Portal kindly refer to the Renewal Guide
https://hpcsaonline.custhelp.com/euf/assets/attachments/annual_renewal_guide.pdf

We urge practitioners to use the Online Renewals Portal.

Once you have gone through the renewal process online, including making the appropriate payment, you will be able to view and/or print an electronic “QR coded” practitioner card. This is official HPCSA proof that a Practitioner is up to date with their Annual Fee Payments. You should be able to login and view/print your current practicing card, within 48 hours after payment has been received at HPCSA.

The online HPCSA system can also be used to access practitioner account statement which will reflect all outstanding invoices due for payment and to log any service request or queries.

Payments Outside South Africa

Practitioners residing outside of South Africa who encounter problems with electronic online payments may still make payments to:

Account holder:          Health Professions Council of South Africa
Bank:                             ABSA
Branch code:                334945
Account no:                  405 003 3481
Swift code:                    ABSAZAJJ
Payment Reference:     Your MP number

Payments made from a location outside the borders of South Africa must make adequate provision for bank charges (local and overseas) as well as a possible deficit due to changes in exchange rate.

Exemptions from payment of 2024/25 Annual Fee

Should you no longer be practicing your profession due to ill health, you may be exempted from payment of the 2024 Annual Fee. A Medical Report, issued by a registered Medical Practitioner, must accompany such application, which should reach the Council’s offices before 1 April 2024.

Exemption from paying the Annual Fee may be granted from the year in which you turn 71, if you turn 71 before 1 April 2024, except for practitioners registered in Professional Boards for Environmental Health Practitioners, Medical Technologist, Radiography & Clinical Technology, Dietetics and Nutritionists, Dental Assisting, Dental Therapy and Oral Hygiene who may be granted exemption from the year in which you turn 66, if you turn 66 before 1 April 2024.

Voluntary Erasure

Written application for Voluntary Erasure under Section 19(1)(c) of the Act must be received by Council on or before 31 March 2024 and 2024/25 Annual Membership Fees will not be due and payable on successful finalisation of application by Council.

Allocation of monies received from Practitioner

Monies received from Practitioners will be allocated against oldest debt first. It is important that Practitioners access the Online Renewals portal to ensure that there is no other balance due and payable.

Suspension from relevant register due to non-payment of 2024/25 Annual fees

The non-payment or partial payment of 2024/25 Annual Fees will result in a Registered Person being suspended from the Register and the need for restoration, which attracts Penalty Fees.

Provincial government health practitioner employees

Employer and labour unions in the Public Health and Social Development Sectoral Bargaining Council have signed Resolution 2 of 2018: Agreement on payment of annual statutory registration fees in respect of health care occupations for the Health and Social Development Departments.

All provincial government health practitioner employees must liaise with their respective provincial health departments to check if deductions were done on PERSAL for payment of their Annual Fees for 2024/25. In terms of the Health Professions act, practitioners will stay responsible for the payment of any outstanding annual fees to Council.

If you are a government employee, please avoid paying Annual Fees for yourself if Persal Deductions will be done on your behalf as refunds will take up to 6 months to process due to volume that will be created.
Yours faithfully
