Student and graduate registration

Hear from the Osteopathy Board of Australia, on the important steps you need to take to become a registered osteopath.

For students

If you are enrolled in an approved program of study, you do not need to apply for registration. Your education provider will pass on your details to the Osteopathy Board of Australia for registration. You will be registered for the duration of study, or until you are no longer enrolled. There are no fees for student registration. 

For more information visit Student Registration on the Ahpra website.
