Annual Renewal of Registration

Renewal of registration requires completion of an Annual Return and payment of the registration fee (Explanatory Notes Regarding Registration Renewal).

Although the Board sends a reminder notice for payment four to six weeks before the due date, the onus is on the individual practitioner to pay the fee and remain financial with the Board. Failure to pay the fee will result in the removal of the practitioner's name from the Register.

Practitioners with temporary, conditional registration are registered for a maximum period of 12 months. Application for extension must be applied for prior to the expiry of the initial registration.

When renewing registration, practitioners are required to complete an Annual Return advising the Board of a range of matters, including:
  • significant ill health
  • disciplinary action in other jurisdictions
  • criminal matters
  • continuing professional development activities
  • professional indemnity insurance (PII) status.
    From 1 October 2008, practitioners are required to provide documentary evidence of their PII status with their Annual Return. Information regarding the introduction of these requirements is contained in the Professional Indemnity Insurance - Annual Returns section of this website.
