** Students must be registered prior to the commencement of their approved program of study or clinical training and will remain registered for the duration of study, or until they are no longer enrolled.
** Students do not need to apply for registration. Under the National Law, the education provider is responsible for ensuring that all students enrolled in an approved program of study or who are undertaking a period of clinical training are registered with AHPRA.
** There are no fees for student registration.
** AHPRA manages student registration matters on behalf of the Boards and works directly with education providers to obtain details of all students in approved programs of study who need to be registered.
AHPRA will request an update of all new and existing students enrolled in an approved program of study from education providers twice a year (in March and August).
** As clinical training placements are organized on an adhoc basis and cover a wide variety of education providers, AHPRA cannot contact education providers who take on students for clinical training placements to request their student information.
Clinical training education providers must initiate contact with AHPRA when they accept a student for a clinical placement to ensure that their student is added to the Student Register prior to the clinical training commencing.
** To register students, education providers must complete the Student Data Template (34.0 KB,XLS) and submit their completed template via email.
Student Register :
** The National Law requires that the Student Register be kept private. Therefore it cannot be accessed like the Registers of Practitioners. As a result, AHPRA does not issue students with a student registration number.
** Students, health services or other entities seeking proof of a student’s registration will need to contact the education provider with whom the student is enrolled to verify a student is registered.
** Education providers are required to notify their students that they have been successfully added to the Student Register once this has been confirmed by AHPRA.
Psychology students :
The Psychology Board of Australia does not register students. Students enrolled in an approved program of study that leads to registration with the Psychology Board of Australia need to apply for provisional registration.
Make a notification :
** Members of the public may make a notification to AHPRA about the health of a student.
** Practitioners, employers and education providers are all mandated by law to report notifiable conduct relating to students.
** Information on how to make a notification and the notification process can be found at Notifications & Outcomes.
