Changes to our registration fees

Our fees have changed from 9 November 2023

In February 2023, the HCPC Council approved proposals to increase registrant fees following a UK wide consultation process. This process involved an online consultation, webinars with registrants, focus groups with members of the public and discussions with professional bodies, unions and Government.

This fee rise will ensure we can continue to invest in maintaining and further enhancing patient safety, as well as improving the experience of registrants interacting with our systems and processes.

For more information, read our consultation analysis and decision report >

The fee was agreed in consultation with the UK and Scottish Governments and has completed the necessary legislative processes. Following this rise, we will review our fees periodically in the context of our commitment to high quality regulation and long-term financial stability.
