If you are an international healthcare professional planning to work in Australia, registering with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) is essential. The process can be complex, but you do not have to face it alone.

What is AHPRA?
AHPRA stands for the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.
AHPRA is the national body responsible for regulating healthcare professionals across Australia.
To legally work as a doctor, nurse, midwife, or other regulated health worker, you must be registered with AHPRA. The registration process confirms that your qualifications and experience meet Australian standards and that you are safe and competent to practise.

- General Practitioner (GP)
- Registered Nurse or Midwife
- Psychiatrist or Mental Health Nurse
- Other regulated health professional
