Notes
1 Fee will be adjusted for any specific requirements of the individual programme and third-party costings at the time the programme is established.
2. The practitioner will be charged direct professional fees and travel and accommodation expenses for supervisors, those providing oversight, tutors, course administrators etc. These expenses will be charged on an actual and reasonable basis in accordance with the Dental Council’s fees and payments and expenditure decisions and probity policies. Course materials, venue costs and administration expenses such as printing, and postage will also be charged based on actual costs.
Competence programme/Recertification programme/Supervision:
For a practitioner who is:
- required to undertake a competence programme set or recognised by the Council under section 40 of the Act;
- required to undertake an individual recertification programme set or recognised by the Council under section 41 of the Act; or
- the subject of a condition included in the practitioner's scope of practice requiring the practitioner to practise subject to the supervision of one or more nominated health practitioners or health practitioners of a stated class.
The fees payable will be an amount that is sufficient to reimburse the Council for all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Council in relation to the competence programme, recertification programme or supervision that applies to the practitioner. Such costs and expenses may include, without limitation:
a) fees for service providers engaged by the Council in relation to the programme/supervision;
b) travel, accommodation, and travel-related costs incurred in connection with site visits;
c) administration expenses for Council administration, teleconference meetings, printing, postage, and communications.
Fees payable will be adjusted for the specific requirements of the individual programme or supervision and can range depending on the level of education required or the duration of supervision required to bring a practitioner up to the required standard.
