Practice Experience Program Specialist (PEP SP) Application Handbook
Application post comparability assessment
Once your job offer is approved, you must apply for AHPRA medical registration via the AHPRA website.
The type of registration you can apply for will depend on the outcome of your comparability assessment:
You must check that you meet the Medical Board of Australia’s registration standards before you apply for registration. This may include applying for a criminal history check and completing an English language test.
AHPRA will assess your application against the registration standards and decide if you are eligible for registration. This usually takes six to eight weeks. Once you registration has been approved, you will be notified by AHPRA and your name will be published on the National Register of Health Practitioners within two weeks.
In-principle approval may be granted if you have applied for medical registration from overseas and can only provide the minimum evidence of identity with your application. You will then be required to present in person at an AHPRA office or at your practice office for an ID check, after which your name will be published on the National Register of Health Practitioners.
