NAATI Frequently Asked Question

What translations does AHPRA require?

Direct Answer

AHPRA requires translations by an accredited translator such as NAATI, submitted with copies of the originals. The core set is the professional licence, degree, transcript and a certificate of good standing from the Thai professional council.

In-depth Answer

Health practitioners registering in Australia — nurses, pharmacists, dentists, doctors — must evidence qualifications and licence status to AHPRA via the relevant assessing body.

The translation set usually covers the professional licence, degree certificate, transcript with clinical hours, and a Certificate of Good Standing from the Thai council, which has a limited validity window, so sequence the work to finish before it lapses.

Technically, subject names and clinical hours must be rendered with the original credit and hour values intact — never converted to Australian units, since the assessor performs that mapping.

If the name has changed since graduation, include the change-of-name certificate and its translation in the same bundle.
