How to use your renewal schedule
Start with your own registration record. Choose your profession to see the next default Board date, then compare that date with the information from AHPRA. If you need a different date, enter it in the override field before building the schedule. This page uses your selection; it does not look up your registration number or confirm your current registration status.
Review all four dates before downloading. When renewal is close, some of the reminder dates may already be in the past. The file still contains those events. Importing them does not create a reminder for a date that has already passed. Use your calendar app to check which upcoming events you want to keep.
Download the .ics file and import it using your calendar app. Open an imported event to check its date, local time and alert settings. The file requests a display alarm, but whether you see a notification depends on your app and device settings. Keep the renewal date somewhere you can review it yourself.
Choosing a state adds a prompt to check your screening records. It does not assess which credentials your work requires. Ask the relevant authority and workplace about your circumstances. The optional endorsements field is a note for this worksheet; it is not included in the calendar file and does not change any reminder dates.
For an ongoing document record, Plus and Pro let you upload documents and enter their expiry dates in Documents. Keep those dates up to date when you replace a document. Uploading a file is a way to organise your records; it does not establish that the document is valid or that you meet a workplace requirement.

Reference notes | AHPRA questions
Common questions
When do I have to renew my AHPRA registration?
The Board defaults used here are 30 September for GPs and specialists, 31 May for nurses and midwives, and 30 November for pharmacy, psychology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dental and paramedicine. Confirm your own date with AHPRA or your National Board before using the schedule. Enter a different date if your registration record shows one.
What happens if I miss the renewal date?
Check your registration status and contact AHPRA or your National Board for the steps that apply to you. This tool does not assess late renewal, fees or permission to work. Its default date is the next annual Board date, so it cannot tell you whether an earlier renewal is outstanding.
Is the 90/30/14/3 schedule official?
No. The events at 90, 30, 14 and 3 days before your chosen renewal date are a Sessional planning schedule. They are not official deadlines or a description of AHPRA emails. Use them as prompts to review your records, gather information and contact your Board about anything you need to clarify.
What is the .ics file and how do I use it?
The .ics download contains four calendar events at 9:00 am in the local time used by your calendar app, with a display alarm at each event start. Import it into a calendar that supports iCalendar files, then check the events and notification settings. It is a snapshot of the chosen dates; download and import a new file if your renewal date changes.
Do I need to renew my WWCC or WWVP at the same time?
Check the expiry shown on each record with the relevant state or territory screening authority. The state note on this page is a prompt to make that check. Choosing a state does not change the AHPRA schedule or add separate calendar events for state credentials.
Can Sessional automate this?
Plus and Pro include document storage where you enter expiry dates. The daily check looks for saved documents expiring within 30 days and can email a digest when document-expiry notifications are enabled, with a six-day gap after a successful digest. That email schedule differs from this calendar file. Sessional does not verify your credentials or renew them for you.
Keep your document expiry dates together
Document expiry tracking: With Plus or Pro, upload your documents, enter their expiry dates and filter for records that are expiring soon or already expired.
