Register to practice overseas

Registration process

As part of the application process for international registration, the University is required to complete and certify the application before you can receive overseas registration. You will need to submit your application forms using our online form. Payment is required when completing the request.

The application package provides information regarding the details that are required by the organisation on La Trobe template, for example, grades, assessments, placement details and relevant dates as applicable. An applicant will receive a hard copy of the relevant documents.

Note: please provide specific information on what is required to be included in your package.

How to register

1. Please complete the online registration form
2. Attach only appropriate documents that the University is required to approve (obtained from either the registering authority or an agency). Please ensure you have already filled out relevant personal information and signature.
3. Please also provide a current mailing address and your Student Identification number when you submit your form online.
4. Please select the correct course completed to ensure your application can be completed without delay.

This process normally takes eight to ten weeks, depending on the number of registrations received by the University and the workload at the time the request is made. We strongly advise you submit your request as early as possible.

Once you have submitted your application and paid online the University will send you a confirmation email and begin the process to produce your registration package. The package contains your completed forms, an official transcript and any other information required by the University’s clinical and theoretical programs.
