Applying for registration

Apply or renew your registration online

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

PDF forms

We are transitioning our PDF forms online. Some requests still need to be made on a PDF form.

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