The HCPC Council met on 26 March 2026 and agreed to consult on a proposed fee rise of £5.06 to the annual registration fee and equivalent increases in our other fees.
If approved, the new annual registration fee will be £128.40 and would come into effect from 2027 to 2029 in a phased approach in line with our professions’ renewal cycles.
We understand the continuing cost of living pressures that registrants face, which is why the proposal is set at the minimum amount necessary to keep the HCPC financially sustainable, meet our statutory public protection obligations, and continue to make essential improvements.
We aim to review our fees at least every two years, with the expectation that regular, incremental increases will be needed to maintain our financial sustainability.
The consultation will be open from Tuesday 28 April 2026 and close on 17 July 2026.
The full consultation documents can be accessed here. They include further supporting information on the proposals and an online survey for individuals and organisations to provide their views.
We will continue to engage widely during the consultation period with our stakeholders across the UK and will listen carefully to the feedback we receive.
