AHPRA doesn’t have a template prepared for their CVs like RACGP and ACRRM do, but they have outlined what needs to be included in a CV that is being submitted to them.
Below is a basic structure for an AHPRA CV:
- Personal Details – Include your name and contact details like your address, phone number and email address
- Qualifications – Include the year you obtained it, the qualification name, and the education provider
- Bridging Programs/Qualifying Exams – Include the date, Facility (including the address) and your results
- Clinical/Procedural Skills – Provide a list of all clinical and procedural skills under either observed and competent
- Work/practice history – Include all current and previous work history with the following:
- Start and End dates with the format DD/MM/YYYY
- Position title
- Facility (including address)
- Responsibilities (include full-time/part-time and hours of work per week)
- Internship and observership (include details of internship rotations and any periods of observership in date order)
- Explanation of gaps in work/practice history – Provide an explanation of any gaps in your work history (i.e. study, family commitments etc. including the dates of your gap and reason)
- Registration History – Provide a list of your registration history for all registration boards where you have held registration and include:
- Current registration number and current registration authority/country
- Previous registration number and previous registration authority/country
- Dates of held registration
- Countries/Registration authorities where you have applied for registration and that application remains under consideration
- Publications – A list of any publications under your name (Note: If provided this should be limited to 1–2 pages, along with References)

- Name and position
- Facility, City, State, Country

- Email Address
- (Note: If provided this should be limited to 1–2 pages, along with Publications)
- Declaration – At the end of your CV you must include a verification statement that states – “The curriculum vitae is true and correct as at (insert date).”
- You will then have to sign and date this declaration.
- Keep in mind the Boards will only accept the original signed copy of the CV.
- You will also have to attach certified copies of any results or performance reports from bridging courses, skills assessments, observerships etc. that have been stated on the CV to your application.
