Registration and Membership Renewal Period
PACFA registration and membership expires on June 30 each year. All members and registrants must renew annually between June and July. Renewals completed between August 1 and September 30 incur full fees plus a $60 late fee.
Renewal Requirements for Clinical and Certified Practising Registrants
Clinical and Certified Practising registrants must annually demonstrate they have met the Five Renewal Requirements for PACFA Registration 2024. This includes uploading evidence of current PI Insurance, a National Police Check, and a Working with Children’s Check (if applicable).
Pro-Rata Exemption for New Registrants
Registrants who joined PACFA on or after August 1, 2023, are eligible for a pro-rata exemption. This exemption is automatically applied to CPD and Supervision Logs. To be eligible to renew, you only need to meet your specific CPD and Supervision hours requirements.
Retroactive Leave Application
Registrants who were not working part of the 2023/2024 Registration Year and lack sufficient CPD and Supervision hours can apply for retroactive leave using the Leave of Absence form.
Hardship Policy
Registrants who faced challenges (such as financial hardship or due to natural disasters) are encouraged to review our Hardship Policy.
Insurance Renewal : Policy Holders with insurance.com.au to renew policy by July 14th to Avoid Coverage Gaps and Significant Risks
Registrants with a current insurance policy from insurance.com.au will renew their policy online through the PACFA page on the insurance.com.au website.
If you haven't already renewed your insurance with insurance.com.au, please be aware that this hold-cover will expire on Sunday, July 14th, at 5 pm.
If your policy lapses, the insurer will not cover any claims made on the lapsed policy, including those for past activities. This could expose you to significant risks, which we want to help you avoid.
If you haven't arranged for a new policy with full retroactive cover, you will be uninsured for any new claims arising from both past and ongoing activities. If you have stopped practising, you might want to consider applying for run-off cover to ensure protection against new claims related to past activities.
