Pharmacy Daily | Print your own certificate

PHARMACISTS can now print out a copy of their Certificate of Registration taken directly from the National Register of Health Practitioners. The action is part of a new online service launched by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) yesterday. The print-your own certificate will be labelled as a copy produced from the national register, and is designed to give practitioners the ability to supply a registration certificate for employer records or to support skills assessment applications for visa purposes. “The service prints the information held on the National Register at the time and records the date it was printed,” said AHPRA CEO Martin Fletcher. “The certificate also directs users to the online public register for the most up-to-date registration information,” he added. AHPRA said the service was created in response to practitioner demand, and pharmacists will also continue to receive a traditional Certificate of Registration every year from AHPRA when they renew their registration. “Employers should always refer to the online National Register to access the most up to date information that a practitioner is registered to practise in Australia”, said Fletcher.
