Step 1

Students apply for registration 4 to 6 weeks before completing their course (provisional psychologist applicants to have completed an accredited program of study within the last 10 years).

Step 2

Applicants fill out an online application (if eligible) or download an application form. All applications require some documents to be sent to AHPRA by mail.

Step 3

Education providers advise AHPRA when applicants are eligible to graduate (not applicable to provisional psychologist applicants).

Step 4

AHPRA finalises assessment, confirms registration, publishes new graduates' names on the Register of Practitioners and sends out registration certificates.

Step 5

New graduates are registered with their profession’s National Board and eligible to start working as soon as their name is published on the Register of Practitioners.
