The fees annually are just too exorbitant

I think we are being ripped off. What justifies the amount we are paying? What does the HPCSA actually do for us?

The fee is ridiculous.

I am having difficulty to pay this amount in these challenging financial times.

Fees are too high

I feel the fees are not in line with other comparable disciplines such as physiotherapy. I do feel however that the statement "However, if this petition is not accepted, Optometrists will continue to feel abused by the controversially ineffective healthcare system set in place in our country" is unfortunate.

The fees are too high especially for newly qualified optoms that are still looking for employment.

I can’t afford the fees, the amount is not justified.

Maabo Nxumalo (Johannesburg, 2020-03-06)

Highest membership fee charged for optometrist of all primary healthcare providers, but why?

Werner Nefdt (Cape Town, 2020-03-07)

#659

It’s too much.

Rudolph Koorts (George, 2020-03-08)

The amount is too much when you compare to the salary that we get.

Lufuno Mlaudzi (Johannesburg, 2020-03-09)

My salary per month, as a part time locum, is minimal. I cannot afford the same fees as a Doctor or a specialist. I feel as students we were seen or rated as the same as fisiotherapists and Occupational therapists. We at least need to pay the same fees as them, and not more!

Deborah Bahlmann (Stellenbosch, 2020-03-10)

An almost 20% increase in annual fees from last year to this is inexplicable. This is very obviously blatant exploitation.

Tali Schay (Johamnesburg, 2020-03-10)

I believe our fees are too high

Andile Mthembu (Durban, 2020-03-10)

I am an Optometrist & agree that Optometrists should not be charged this much by HPCSA while other primary practitioners are paying way less.

Nokwanda Gumede (Durban, 2020-03-11)

#677

Fees are not appropriately calculated! How can we pay the same as dentists and drs who def make much more

Yashika Maharaj (Jhb, 2020-03-11)

I think that Optometrists are charged a lot of fees by HPCSA in comparison to other primary practitioners, being in the same ranks as Dentists and GPs means we get the same income and that is not true. Optometrists are paid way less

Nokwanda Gumede (DURBAN, 2020-03-12)

It is ridiculously high, I work in a public hospital and we are so under paid, we cannot afford to pay this price!

Sthabile Madlala (Durban, 2020-03-12)

#684

I strongly agree

Husna Paruk (Durban, 2020-03-12)

The raise in fees are very high.

fees are too exorbitant need to fall

kaveer rampeyarie (pietermaritzburg, 2020-03-12)

Hmmm, I say this with all due respect, I feel it is really unfair that us as Optometrists have to pay one of the highest in professional fees, compared to other health/medical(Primary) practitioners. As well as feel we taken lightly and have to accept this in injustice of higher fees with marginly steeper price hikes each and every year.

Treshen Naidoo (Johannesburg, 2020-03-12)

The registration fee is too high and as an optometrist in the public health where we are not paid the same as other supplementary health professionals who are being paid rural allowances and scare scarce skills allowances.

Mokwene Collen Thulare (Polokwa, 2020-03-13)

I am also a doctor and I am not allowed to practice as an optometrist, yet I have to pay these ridiculous fees
