Update your contact details to receive registration renewal reminders

11 Sep 2015

Are your contact details up to date? Registration renewal reminders will be sent to registrants soon.

Occupational therapists are due to renew their general or non-practising registration with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia (the Board) by 30 November 2015.

Under the National Law¹, all registered occupational therapists are responsible for renewing their registration on time each year. The quickest and easiest way to renew your registration is online.

The Board urges all occupational therapists to ensure contact details, including your email address and mobile phone number, are current.

Update your contact information by logging in to our secure online services. Use your user ID and secure password, and follow the prompts.

If you do not have your user ID, complete an online enquiry form and select ‘Online Services - Practitioner’ as the category type. You might also need to reset your password.

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) will contact you individually about renewal on behalf of the Board.

So keep a look out for the reminders to renew as confirmation that online renewal is open.

Your renewal reminder (email or hard copy) includes all the information you need for easy, online renewal of registration:

• link to access online renewal
• your 10 digit user ID
• information on how to pay, and
• details on how to reset your password.

Make sure you renew on time because, under the National Law, there is no option for AHPRA or the Board to renew your registration after it has lapsed without you having to complete a new application for registration.
