AHPRA Psychology Board Registration: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn the requirements for maintaining your professional registration to practice as a psychologist in Australia.
This scheme allows registered psychologists to maintain their legal standing to practice by meeting ongoing professional requirements.
Who it's for
This is for registered psychologists who must meet specific annual continuing professional development (CPD) requirements to keep their status active.
What you get
By maintaining your registration, you receive official proof of your professional standing and insurance. This status is also required to submit your mandatory continuing professional development logs.
What it costs you
You will need to pay an annual fee, which is typically between $500 and $600. You must also dedicate time each year to completing your professional development hours and documenting them.
The catch to know
The biggest risk is forgetting to update your continuing professional development hours before your renewal deadline. If these are not completed and recorded on time, you face the risk of immediate suspension.
How to apply
- Complete your required professional development hours for the year.
- Prepare your documentation and logs of these activities.
- Log in to the official registration portal to renew.
- Pay the required annual fee to finalize your status.
