Notes:
-
The increased fees apply to restorations that are EFFECTIVE
from a date after 31 December 2010 - no matter when the fee is paid.
In other words, if you meet all the requirements for restoration after 31
December 2010 OR if you request restoration with effect from a date
after 31 December 2010.
-
The reduced restoration fee will only apply if your name was
removed from the register at your own request - this must be confirmed with
the Council before paying the reduced amount.
-
The above amounts all include 14% VAT.

Watch out
for bogus SANC employees
5 October 2009
It has been brought to SANCs attention that imposters are
contacting Nursing Institutions with information that SANC will be conducting
surprise inspections in the near future.
In the report we have received, a certain Mr "Khumalo" is passing
himself off as "the newly appointed Senior Registrar for SANC in
KZN". It is certain tht this man (who is unknown to SANC) is up to no
good.
Please be very careful if you are approached by any
(unexpected) person claiming to be a SANC employee. Do NOT believe
any information you receive about "surprise inspections". Report
any suspicious contact of this nature to the Council and to the S A Police.
Usually, the only time that SANC conducts "surprise inspections" is
for illegal nursing schools - and the inspection team is accompanied by the
local S A Police (because it is a criminal act to operate an illegal nursing
school).
It appears from the information that we have received that this person may be
intending to collect "fines" if anything is found to be amis. Be
warned, that a SANC employee on inspection will never collect cash or other
payments on behalf of the Nursing Council. If anyone requests any such
payment, please refuse to comply with the illegal request. All
payments due to SANC should preferable be paid into the SANC bank account - the
details of which can be requested from the SANC offices in Pretoria (see the
Contact SANC link at the top of this page).
If you have any queries in this regard, please contact
SANC for clarity or confirmation of suspicious activities or
occurences. We will be pleased to assist you in this matter.
