Applying for registration

Exciting changes are coming to make it easier to apply for registration online. The process will be easier, faster, and more secure.

A new online application form along with a new Ahpra portal for applicants and practitioners, and a new secure online ID verification will be progressively coming online from 17 March 2025.

Online applications 

While we upgrade our operating system, online applications are not available. They will be coming back online – with improved functionality – from Monday 17 March 2025. 

Registration and renewal application forms

We strongly encourage you to wait for our new online application forms for a faster assessment. A new online application form along with a new Ahpra portal for applicants and practitioners, and a new secure online ID verification will be coming online soon. 

Check back on our website next week to see up-to-date information about our new portal.

If you believe you need to lodge an urgent application, email us and we will be back in touch. 

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.
