Renewal of registration is due by 30 November 2019

31 Oct 2019

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners have until 30 November 2019 to renew their registration on time.

Approximately 690 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners are due to renew registration. The quickest and easiest way to renew is online.

Practitioners should look out for the series of email and hard copy reminders sent to them by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), on behalf of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Board of Australia. Anyone who hasn’t received a reminder to renew should phone AHPRA on 08 8901 8562.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners whose application for general registration is received on time, or during the following one-month late period, can continue practising while their application is processed.

Those who do not apply to renew their registration by 31 December 2019 will have lapsed registration. They will be removed from the national register of practitioners and will not be able to use the protected title or practise as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners.
