Registration renewal

The registration renewal date for podiatrists with general, specialist or non-practising registration is 30 November. You can check your registration details and expiry date on the national registers of practitioners.

Make sure your contact details provided to Ahpra, including email, are current as you will be sent reminders when your registration is due. Look for these reminders from Ahpra as confirmation that online renewal is open. After receiving your reminder, go to the Ahpra login page.

See fees for the cost of annual renewal, including the late payment fee for renewal applications received during December.

If you do not renew your registration by 31 December (end of the one month late period), your registration will lapse in accordance with the National Law and your name will be removed from the national register.

If you wish to keep practising and do not renew registration by 31 December, you must submit a fast track application for registration. Fast track application forms are available on the Board website or by phoning the Customer Service Team on 1300 419 495 during January.

If submitting a fast track application, you cannot practise until your application is processed and your registration details are updated on the national register.

Important registration renewal dates

  • 30 November: Expiry of your registration. 
  • 1 December: Start of late period (late payment fee plus registration renewal fee). 
  • 1 January: Registration lapses (your name is removed from the national register).

Who is AHPRA?

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) supports the 14 National Boards in their role of protecting the public and setting standards and policies that all registered health practitioners must meet.


AHPRA and the National Boards work together to register and renew health practitioners and, where required, investigate complaints or concerns regarding health practitioners.


AHPRA's operations are governed by the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law which came into effect on 1 July 2010. This law applies in each Australian state and territory, and is sometimes referred to on our sites as ‘the National Law’.


All health practitioners registered to practise are included on the national register of practitioners which is managed by AHPRA.
