It's time for graduates to begin the process of professional registration

Ahpra has officially launched its graduate registration campaign, inviting final-year students to begin the process now – even before their results are released.

Here’s what’s new and what a graduate needs to do:

Create an Ahpra portal

Ahpra has introduced a new online portal with smart forms and multifactor authentication. This portal becomes the go-to location for managing registration throughout a person's career. Step-by-step instructions and help videos are available via Ahpra’s Portal Help Centre.

Start the application process early 

Begin as soon as possible to avoid delays. If all documentation is provided, Ahpra aims to complete registration within two weeks of receiving results from the applicant's education provider.

Ahpra's updated graduate hub includes:

• A quick guide to applying

• New proof of identity requirements

• Updated English language registration standards

• FAQs and downloadable flyers

Stay informed

Ahpra updates are available via email, social media (LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram), and through an applicant's education provider. Ahpra has created some helpful FAQs for students.

The ADA is here to support graduate members every step of the way.
