Applying for registration

Apply or renew your registration online

You can apply for registration and renew your registration online in the Ahpra portal. 

Create or log in to your account to start an application, update your contact details, request a certificate of good standing or certificate of registration. If you need to change your principle place of practice or tell us about a notifiable event you can do so in the portal.

Tips on preparing your registration application

For detailed information on the application process, see Ahpra's Applying for registration information.

PDF forms

We are transitioning our PDF forms online. Some requests and reporting associated with applications for registration or renewal of registration still need to be made on a PDF form. 

Download the relevant form and once completed, log in to your Ahpra practitioner portal and upload it.
