I would like my medical physics qualifications assessed for the purpose of migration to Australia?
See the information on overseas assessment via the profession standards menu and professional standards boardon this website. Applications are not considered until the application fee is paid.

Do I have to be a member of the College to be listed on the publicly available Medical Physicist Register ?
No, all qualifications are assessed regardless of membership status. However, members are charged a lower administrative fee. Go to the information provided on this website via the Professional Standards Board menu.

How do I claim an honorarium ?
You need to complete a claim form and you need to complete a 'Statement by a Supplier' form. Why? Fees payable by ACPSEM to College members or other individuals under various projects, such as the "Fast Track" project or CPD activities, all involve the College paying a fee for service and, because the ACPSEM registered office is in Australia, the Australian GST rules therefore apply. Briefly stated, this means that the supplier of a service to the College must provide the College with details of the supplier's ABN number or the College must obtain a completed 'Statement by a Supplier'. This form identifies 5 possible reasons explaining why an ABN number has not been quoted and requires the supplier to tick the appropriate box. As explained on the form, if the ACPSEM office does not have this signed form to satisfy it that the supplier is excluded from the ABN rule it is obliged to withhold 48.5% of the payment and pay this amount to the Taxation Office as 'GST Withholding Tax'. This requirement applies irrespective of whether the 'supplier' is registered for GST or not.
