Create an Ahpra portal account

How do I create an Ahpra practitioner portal account?

We’ve recently upgraded our practitioner online services to Ahpra portals. Your Ahpra portal gives you access to the Ahpra practitioner services you need to apply for, renew and manage your registration.  

If you’re a new applicant and have never had an account with Ahpra you’re on the right page, follow the instructions below to create your Ahpra practitioner portal. 

If you’re a health practitioner with an existing account, you’ll need to migrate over to a new Ahpra practitioner portal – follow the instructions on the Existing account support page to migrate your account to an Ahpra practitioner portal. 

If you're a PIE subscriber, to the PIE login page. 

Create your Ahpra practitioner portal

You are required to set up multi-factor authentication using an authenticator app. Do this on a computer or laptop. You’ll need your phone to connect to a multifactor authentication app. There’s information on downloading an app below.

  1. Click Practitioner portal login button on the Login page.
  2. Click Create account button.
  3. Enter your First name, Last name, Email address, Mobile including country code, and Date of birth.
  4. Click Sign Up.
  5. Check your email inbox for a verification email
    • If the email is not in your inbox, check your junk or spam folder.
      If you don’t receive a verification email, please contact us.
  6. Click the link in the verification email.
  7. Sign up with an authenticator app.  

Set up Authenticator app

Receiving a code via an authenticator app is the most secure way to verify your details. If you need help using an authenticator app – read the instructions below.

  1. Once you have an authenticator app installed, open it
  2. In the portal account form click Sign up with an authenticator app
  3. Scan the QR code on the Connect an authenticator app screen. This will connect the app to your Ahpra account and generate a time-based, one-time passcode.
  4. Enter that passcode into the Enter code field and click Verify code.
  1. Choose a password. Your password must include
    • 14 characters
    • 1 uppercase
    • 1 lower case
    • 1 number
    • 1 special character
  2. Click Change password.

Using an authenticator app

Using an authenticator app is the most secure way to verify your identity when doing multifactor authentication. 

We recommend using Google Authenticator.

Download Google Authenticator for free from the App Store or Google Play. 

Simply open the app on your mobile phone, then scan the QR code on the ‘Connect an authenticator app’ screen.

This will connect the app to your Ahpra account and generate a time-based, one-time passcode. Enter that passcode into the Enter code field and your multifactor authentication will be complete.

Each time you sign in to the Ahpra practitioner portal, you’ll use your chosen mobile authenticator app to generate a one-time passcode.
