Under National requirements of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra), all Medical Radiation Science practitioners must be registered with the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA).
Enquiries regarding registration should be directed to the MRPBA.
The Registration Board is the regulating authority for both disciplines and regulations relating to registration.
Licensing of Diagnostic Radiographers/Medical Imaging Technologists and Radiation Therapists is a state issue and therefore varies between jurisdictions.
Separate fees for licensing apply to each jurisdiction.
