The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) provides information for students and graduates about applying for registration following completion of an approved program of study.
Eligible students can apply for registration through AHPRA’s graduate application process before completing their course. The timing and requirements for applying can vary depending on the profession and the relevant National Board, so students should check the current information provided by AHPRA and the Psychology Board of Australia.

Graduate registration information and resources
AHPRA provides resources to help students prepare for registration, including information about:
- preparing and submitting a graduate registration application
- avoiding delays with registration
- English language skills requirements
- criminal history requirements
- documentation required to support an application
- profession-specific registration requirements.
AHPRA’s available flyers and other resources may be updated from time to time. Students should refer to the current resources available on the AHPRA website rather than relying on previously downloaded copies.

Psychology graduates
Psychology students should also review the registration information provided by the Psychology Board of Australia, including the requirements that apply to provisional or general registration.
Students are responsible for ensuring that they understand and meet the registration requirements that apply to their individual circumstances. CMI cannot determine whether an individual student meets AHPRA’s registration requirements.
