AHPRA renewal reminders

Use the public renewal calendar tool and document expiry digest to organise your records. Guidance, not advice.

The renewal clock, per profession

Registration renews each year on a date set by your National Board. The Medical Board renews on 30 September, the Nursing and Midwifery Board on 31 May, and the Pharmacy, Psychology, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Dental and Paramedicine Boards on 30 November.

Check your renewal notice for the Board, registration type and date that apply to you. Ask AHPRA about the opening date, deadline and any late application process if anything is unclear. Keep the notice with your registration evidence so you can refer to the same information when speaking with a workplace or recruiter.

Use the public AHPRA renewal calendar tool to download a calendar reminder file. Select your profession, confirm the renewal date against your registration record and choose Download .ics calendar. If the date changes, regenerate the file and update your calendar entries.

Reminder windows

The document expiry check groups uploaded documents expiring within the next 30 days into a digest sent to your account email address. If Document expiry emails are enabled, eligible documents can appear in the digest, with at least six days between successful sends. The check uses the expiry dates you save and excludes already expired documents. It does not send separate AHPRA deadline or daily grace-period emails.

You can turn Document expiry emails on or off in Notification preferences. This setting applies to the account, rather than to individual registrations.

Keeping registration and endorsement evidence

On Plus or Pro, upload supporting evidence in your documents. Choose a category and enter a title that identifies the record. Add useful context in Notes and enter the Expiry date when uploading, if the document has one. Check the file and date before choosing Upload.

Keep a separate list of any questions about endorsements, renewal evidence or CPD records to discuss with your Board. A stored document is a record you supplied; it does not confirm that a Board has accepted your evidence or approved a renewal.

State checks that sit alongside AHPRA

Per-state credentials lets you record a state, credential kind, reference, dates and a note. The page groups records by state and shows expiry status based on the date you enter. Ask the workplace and issuing authority which checks apply to the work you are considering.

The page can prompt you about states found in your shifts where you have no credential recorded. That prompt is not a complete list of checks needed before a shift. Review your requirements with the workplace even when you already have a credential saved for that state.

After lodgement

Keep the acknowledgement and follow up with AHPRA if the status is unclear. When renewed evidence is available, upload it with its new expiry date rather than relying on an older document's reminder. Review older uploads to avoid confusing them with current evidence. Use the public calendar tool again if you need new reminders and check the imported entries.

Common questions

When is AHPRA registration renewal due?

The annual renewal date depends on the Board: 30 September for the Medical Board, 31 May for the Nursing and Midwifery Board, and 30 November for the Pharmacy, Psychology, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Dental and Paramedicine Boards. Check your renewal notice for the opening date and confirm the deadline against your own registration record. Sessional uses the expiry dates saved on uploaded documents for its document expiry digest.

What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?

Contact AHPRA and check your registration record for the next steps before accepting work. Confirm any fees, application process and evidence with AHPRA. Sessional reminders use saved document dates and do not establish your registration status.

How can I keep endorsement evidence?

On Plus or Pro, you can upload supporting evidence to Documents and enter an expiry date when uploading it. Use the title and notes to identify what the evidence relates to. Check endorsement requirements and renewal steps with the relevant Board.

How can I organise reminders for state checks?

Save the expiry date when uploading a state-check document. If Document expiry emails are enabled, eligible documents can appear in the digest. A date saved only in Per-state credentials does not feed that email. Confirm dates with the issuing authority and keep separate calendar reminders where useful.

Can Sessional upload the CPD evidence pack for me?

No. Lodge your renewal and supporting evidence directly with AHPRA. On Plus or Pro, you can keep supporting documents in Sessional and refer to them while preparing your renewal. Check with your Board which records you need.

Does renewal change if I have more than one AHPRA profession?

Check the renewal notice and Board requirements for each registration you hold. Use the public renewal calendar tool separately for each profession and confirm each date against your own registration record before importing the reminders.
