NOTICE

Motivation for Annual Fee Increase

The South African Nursing Council over the last two years has managed to avoid an increase in the annual licensing fees. For the financial year 2002 the Council has faced a situation where an increase to the annual fees is unavoidable.

The factors that influenced the decision to increase fees are:

The South African Nursing Council would like to assure the members of the nursing profession that we will continue to provide a high standard of service at the lowest possible cost.

Council resolved that those nurses that have already paid the annual fees prior to the Government Gazette Notice will not be charged the difference to make up the increased fee.

Kind Regards
