Registration related forms and documents

Exciting changes are here to make it easier to apply for and renew registration online. 

To apply for or renew your registration simply, create, or log in to, your Ahpra practitioner portal and start an application. Our registration and application forms are now online. The process will be easier, faster, and more secure. 

We also have a new secure online ID verification process. International applicants can verify their identity before coming to Australia. 

This page contains forms, common across all professions, to help you manage aspects of your registration.  

We are in the process of moving away from PDF forms. As we transition, you can find

  • registration application and renewal forms on the Legacy forms page  
  • common forms that have been retired, are listed below

Some profession-specific form which are still required can be found on your National Board's forms page.

Certificate of Good Standing

Declarations for expired Certificate of Registration Status (CORS) or Certificate of Good Standing (COGS)

Certificates of Registration Status (CORS) or Certificates of Good Standing (COGS) are valid for three (3) months from date of issue.

Your CORS/COGS must be valid when the Board makes a decision on a registration application.

If at the time of the Board’s decision, your CORS/COGS expired but is within six (6) months from its date of issue, a declaration may be accepted in lieu of a new certificate.

If the Board’s decision, occurs six (6) months after the date of issue of your CORS/COGS, you must arrange a new certificate from the overseas regulatory body and have it sent directly to Ahpra before your registration can be finalised.

Please note that there may be other occasions when you are required to arrange for the registration body to send a new certificate directly to Ahpra before your registration can be finalised.

Below is the declaration form you must fill out if it is more than three (3) months, but less than six (6) months from the date of issue of your CORS/COGS.

International criminal history checks

Declarations for expired International criminal history checks

An International criminal history check (ICHC) is valid for three (3) months from the date of issue.

If at the time of the Board’s decision, your ICHC is not valid, a declaration may be accepted in lieu of a new ICHC to confirm your criminal history status.

Please note that there may be other occasions when you are required to submit a new ICHC to Ahpra before your registration can be finalised.

Below is the declaration form you must fill out if your ICHC is older than three (3) months from the date of issue.
