DHA exam fees for nurses
The DHA exam fee for a Registered Nurse is USD 240. You pay it by card to Prometric when you schedule, and the fee is not refundable, including when you reschedule, cancel or do not attend.
What you pay and how
DHA's guideline lists the fee in US dollars. Prometric collects it electronically by American Express, MasterCard or Visa. If you are paying from a bank in another currency, your bank sets the exchange rate, so the amount in your own currency will vary.
The same USD 240 applies to the Assistant Nurse, Midwife and several other non-physician papers. Physicians and dentists pay more. This guide covers nurses only.
Reschedule, cancel and no-show
- DHA's assessment manual says exam fees are non-refundable. This includes rescheduling, cancellation and no show.
- You can reschedule up to 5 calendar days before your exam. Prometric applies a charge that depends on the test centre.
- Cancelling or not attending is not counted as a failed attempt, so it does not use one of your three attempts.
- If you are not sure you are ready, rescheduling more than 5 days ahead is cheaper than losing an attempt, but it still costs a fee.
Other costs to plan for
The exam fee is only part of the cost. Plan for DataFlow or primary-source checks if your authority requests them, document attestation, travel to a test centre and study materials. DHA's own pages list their application steps, so check them for fees other than the exam. Retake fees are charged again for each new attempt.
Before paying for any course, try the free 20-question check to see where you stand. Our own prices are on the pricing page.
