Scheduled Maintenance This website will be unavailable between 8:00am and 5:00pm on Sunday 2nd June 2024 AEST. Ahpra's account services, online graduate applications, financial transactions, and other online services will not be available. The online public Register of Practitioners will be available. We apologise for any inconvenience.

We're still here to help: We’re sorry our phones are busy at the moment, it’s peak nursing and midwifery renewal time. We recommend you make an online enquiry. Alternatively, you can contact us by phone and if available request a call-back.

Ahpra and the National Boards acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and their continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and Elders past and present.

The National Scheme is committed to patient safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Through shared leadership and application of the National Law, we work to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have access to, and work within, a health system that is culturally safe and free from racism.
