2021 has continued to present us with challenges and has impacted many of us both professionally and personally. RACS is aware that some Fellow’s practices have been impacted more than others resulting in financial hardship for some. This year the RACS Financial Hardship criteria will continue to consider COVID-19 related impacts. If this is you, we provide the fee relief options below to support your payment of 2022 College subscriptions.
Option one: wind back of 2022 subscription fee notice to 2021 amount
As a Fellow, you are able to elect this year’s (2021) subscription fee amount instead of paying next year’s indexed 2022 subscription fee amount. To do so, please complete the following online form.
All you have to do is provide your name, RACS ID and phone number. We also request an email address so that we can confirm with you that the 2021 subscription fee amount has been applied to your 2022 subscription notice.

Option two: apply to the Treasurer for greater 2022 subscription fee relief
As a Fellow, you can alternatively apply to the RACS Treasurer for special consideration if you have experienced greater financial hardship due to restrictions on your practice during 2021 from COVID-19.
This fee relief is available to Fellows who can demonstrate:
- Access to government support through a COVID-19 financial assistance program.
- Reduced practice income due to practice restrictions, in a predominantly elective capacity and within private practice.
- Other personal or professional factors that have limited your practice income during 2021.
To apply for this relief, please complete the following online application form to the Treasurer. All you have to do is provide the above information along with your name, RACS ID, phone number and email address so that we can confirm the level of financial relief provided to your 2022 subscription notice.
