Online upload

Any applicants or registrants who need to submit an application, supporting documents or a form to Ahpra.

Yes, where indicated in your application, you must supply documents that are certified as true copies of the original documents. 

Once you've had them certified, you should scan them and make sure they're saved in an appropriate file format for upload. 

For more information, see our certifying documents page. 

Your documents must be in one of the following formats:

• .JPG
• .JPEG
• .GIF
• .PNG
• .PDF
• .TIF
• .TIFF

Each file must be less than 10MB and you can upload multiple files per upload.

We do not accept cheques, money orders or bank drafts. You can pay securely by credit or debit card. We accept Visa or Mastercard. 

Please do not post your form or certified documents. This will delay your application.

Please upload documents in your Ahpra practitioner portal.

Some old forms may still be in circulation. So, even if your form says to post it and that scanned copies will not be accepted, you should submit your form and any relevant certified copies of your documents using your Ahpra practitioner portal.

We will contact you if there are any issues with your uploaded documents.

We strongly recommend that you upload your application using your Ahpra practitioner portal. This will ensure we receive your application as quickly as possible and can start our assessment. 

However, if you have a complete application and want to submit it via mail, please ensure you do not send any original documents as we will not be able to return these to you. You must supply copies of documents that have been certified as true copies of the original documents. See our certifying documents page.
