Registration renewal

Video: Renewing your registration

As a nurse and/or midwife, you need to renew your general or non-practising registration every year by 31 May.

You can check your registration details and expiry date on the national register.

We will email your registration reminder when online renewal opens up to eight weeks before your renewal is due. After receiving your reminder, go to the Ahpra portal.

Remember to renew registration using your legal name - this is the name that appears on the national register. Make sure the contact details you give us, including your email address and mobile, are current.

You can download your certificate from your Ahpra portal once you've renewed.

Visit the fees page for cost of annual renewal, including the late payment fee for renewal applications received during June.

If you do not renew your registration by 31 May, or within the one month late period, your name will be removed from the national register and your registration will lapse in accordance with the National Law.

If you experience issues when trying to renew your registration online, please contact the Customer Service Team on 1300 419 495.

Important registration renewal dates:

31 May: Expiry of your registration 
1 June: Late payment fee plus registration renewal fee 
1 July: Registration lapses (your name is removed from the national register)

I don't want to renew my registration

If you don't want to renew your registration, you have two options.

1. Log in to your portal
2. Click on 'Manage my renewal'
3. Click 'Not renew' on the front of the renewal form.

You can do nothing. If you haven't renewed your registration by the end of the late period, your registration will lapse. Your name will be removed from the Register of practitioners.

We'll continue to send you reminders until the end of the late period, and let you know when your registration has lapsed.

The late period ends on 30 June.
