AHPRA registration

Confirm a health practitioner's AHPRA registration against the national Register of Practitioners — including its type, its expiry, and any conditions on it.

Who it's for: Compliance admins and recruiters in health, aged care, and disability services

Availability: Available — one national register, no state-by-state checks

What you get​

  • Verify a registration against the public national register, usually within a minute or so
  • See the practitioner's profession, registration type, whether it's current, when it expires, and any conditions or restrictions
  • Skip the per-state work — one registration applies nationally
  • Have Oho re-check on your schedule and update the outcome when the register's answer changes
  • Nothing to configure: no account, key, or portal access

Turn it on​

→ Add a credential — choose AHPRA Registration, enter the registration number, and Oho checks the national register straight away.

How it works​

Oho checks the public AHPRA register using the registration number and records what comes back against the credential: the practitioner's name, profession, registration type, currency, expiry, and any conditions. Once the register is connected as a Verification Source, Oho re-checks on the schedule you choose and updates the outcome on its own.

→ AHPRA Registration — who needs it, what Oho needs, and how to read the result → AHPRA — Register of Practitioners — the source and what it returns → One-off verification — what happens the moment a credential is added

For developers

Create the credential over the REST API and receive the outcome on the credential.verified event, where the verifier code is ahpra.

Good to know​

  • The registration number is the long number printed on the practitioner's registration (for example MED0001164086). Its first three letters identify the profession, so you don't record the profession separately.
  • AHPRA is matched by registration number, so the worker's name is kept for your reference but isn't what the register checks against.
  • Registration covers Australia's 16 regulated health professions, including medicine, nursing, psychology, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and paramedicine.
  • The register is public, so there's nothing to authenticate — Oho handles its captcha automatically. No employer linkage is recorded against a registration.
  • Review Required means valid but carrying conditions worth a person reviewing; for AHPRA that's usually the conditions or restrictions the register returns.
  • Registration is one of several professional registrations Oho verifies — teacher registration works the same way against each state authority. See Breadth of verifiables.
