Let’s support optometry on the big screen
Optometrists aren’t just making a difference in the practice room – they’re making waves in cinemas too.
This information is for optometry students in their final year of university study and outlines the steps required to become a registered optometrist in Australia. As a student enrolled in a health practitioner training program, you are already registered with the Optometry Board of Australia (OBA) via the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Your university automatically completes this student registration on your behalf. Once you are ready to graduate from university, you must then apply for graduate registration as a registered health practitioner via AHPRA.
This content is restricted to Optometry Australia members. If you are not a member, and would like to access our site’s wealth of information supporting members in their practice, clinical care and professional development, join our organisation today.

In the spirit of reconciliation Optometry Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
