2024 registration renewal for occupational therapists is open

07 Oct 2024

Occupational therapists are invited to renew their general or non-practising registration.

You will soon receive an email from Ahpra providing access to online renewal.

Be sure to renew before 30 November 2024, to avoid a late fee.

Information for your 2024 renewal of registration

Registration renewal is online only

Remember, you must complete your registration renewal online. Read the renewal FAQs on the Ahpra website for tips on logging in.

If you submit your application on time, or during the following one-month late period, you can continue practising while your application is assessed.

If you don’t renew before the end of the late period, 31 December 2024, your registration will lapse, you’ll be removed from the register of practitioners, and you won’t be able to use the protected title, occupational therapist.

Got questions about your renewal?

The renewal FAQs on the Ahpra website cover common questions on professional indemnity insurance, recency of practice, continuing professional development, and what to do if you have a change in your criminal history or health impairments you need to tell us about. Remember you don’t need to tell us about well managed health conditions that do not affect your practice.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Engagement and Support team

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Engagement and Support team is here to assist Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander occupational therapists with the renewal process. If, after reading the renewal FAQs, you would like assistance with your renewal application, please email the support team at mobengagementsupport@ahpra.gov.au.
