Health Practitioner Regulation National Law on the standards library
An individual applying to a National Board for registration uses the Board's approved form, pays the fee, supplies proof of identity and any other information the Board reasonably needs. The form requires a declaration of the address where the applicant will mainly practise (or, if none, the principal residence), an address for correspondence, disclosure of the applicant's criminal history (in Australia and overseas; spent conviction laws do not apply to this disclosure) and authority for the Board to obtain that history; information must be verified by statutory declaration where the form says so. Since 10 April 2026 a disqualified person cannot apply at all unless a responsible tribunal has made a reinstatement order (s 77A).
- Copy of the submitted registration application with the criminal history declaration and consent to a check
- Certified proof of identity documents lodged with the application
- Statutory declaration where the approved form required one
- For a previously disqualified applicant, the tribunal's reinstatement order
- Overseas convictions or charges omitted because the applicant assumed only Australian history counts
- Old convictions left out in reliance on spent conviction rules that do not apply to this declaration
- Practice address declared as the corporate head office rather than where the applicant will mainly practise
