Fees and charges

The Australian Medical Council is an organisation whose work impacts across the lands of Australia and New Zealand.

The Australian Medical Council acknowledges the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the original Australians and the Māori People as the tangata whenua (Indigenous) Peoples of Aotearoa (New Zealand). We recognise them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.

We pay our respects to them and to their Elders, both past, present and emerging, and we recognise their enduring connection to the lands we live and work on, and honour their ongoing connection to those lands, its waters and sky.

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website may contain images, voices and names of people who have passed away.

AMC MCQ authorisation fee reduced

As part of our ongoing review of assessment against international benchmarks, the AMC will be reducing the MCQ authorisation fee from the current amount of A$3,124 to A$2,920. This change will take effect from 2 July 2024 at 9am (AEST – Australian Eastern Standard Time). The AMC will be contacting candidates who have paid the higher fee with information about a refund. This will not apply to candidates who have already cancelled their authorisation and have received their refund.

Also refer to frequently asked questions.

Unfortunately, due to an increase in bank fees for all credit card transactions, the AMC will be adjusting the bank surcharge to 0.96% for all credit card transactions. The surcharge will take affect from 8 January 2024 at 9am (AEDT – Australian Eastern Daylight Time).

The surcharge will apply to all payments made to the AMC by credit/debit card, including payment of candidate applications, portfolio applications, examination fees, other fees such as duplicate/reprint copies of certificates and results, and any payment through the AMC online store to purchase AMC publications.
