I hold registration in multiple specialties but only one is showing on my registration certificate, what can I do?
Some practitioners are experiencing an error where only one of their multiple specialities appears on their registration certificate. We are working to fix this error.
In the meantime, if you need proof of your registration, please use the Register of practitioners. The register has the most up-to-date information about practitioners’ registration status and will include all the specialties you hold registration in.
Ahpra will send a series of renewal reminder emails when it’s time for you to renew your registration. After receiving your reminder, log in to your Ahpra portal, click on the renewal alert on your portal dashboard and follow the prompts to renew. For provisional and limited renewal, go to My Registrations and follow the prompts.
Watch the video above for help locating the renewal form and to see how to submit the form after making payment. If you don’t hit ‘Submit’, we won’t receive your renewal even if payment has been taken.
For help logging in to your portal, visit the Ahpra portal help centre.
The registration renewal date for medical practitioners with general, specialist or non-practising registration is 30 September.
If you do not renew your registration by 30 September, or within the one-month late period, your name will be removed from the Register of practitioners and your registration will lapse.
If you wish to keep practising and do not renew registration by 31 October, you must submit a fast-track application for registration. The fast-track application form will be available in your Ahpra portal during November.
If submitting a fast-track application, you cannot practise until your application is assessed and your registration details are updated on the Register of practitioners.
The registration renewal date for practitioners with limited or provisional registration is determined on a case-by-case basis.
If you do not renew your registration by the expiry date, or within the one-month late period, your name will be removed from the Register of practitioners and your registration will lapse.
Provisional registration can be renewed twice, and limited registration three times.
Once you have renewed the maximum times allowable, you must submit a new application for registration to stay on the register. To stay on the register, your new application must be approved before your current provisional or limited registration expires.
The Board can grant up to 12 months registration. You can check your registration details and expiry date on the Register of practitioners.
The register is updated every day and is the safest and most up-to-date way for a practitioner or an employer to check someone's registration details. If you need a copy of your registration certificate, you can download it from your Ahpra portal.
Make sure your contact details, especially email, are current so you receive your renewal reminder emails.
See fees for cost of annual renewal, including the late payment fee for renewal applications.
