If you currently hold provisional registration and have completed all of the requirements to be eligible for general registration, you can apply for general registration via our online services portal.
For all other circumstances, please use the relevant downloadable form below.
In response to COVID-19, applicants and registrants can now send applications, forms and supporting documents to Ahpra online instead of sending us these documents via hardcopy mail. See Online Upload.
Online application for renewal of registration opens six to eight weeks before your registration expires. Ahpra will send you a reminder when your registration is due. Look for this as confirmation that online renewal is open.
If you do not renew your general or non-practising registration by 30 November each year, or within the following one month late period, your registration will lapse in accordance with the National Law and your name will be removed from the national register of practitioners.
If your general registration lapsed on 1 January 2022 and you wish to keep practising you must make a new application for registration. In some cases you can use the fast track application for this process. The fast track process is only available for one month after your registration has lapsed.

A fast track application fee is payable in addition to a registration fee. You cannot practise while your fast track application is being assessed. If your registration has lapsed, before you can practise you must wait until your application is approved and your registration details are updated on the national register of practitioners.
