Registration and Licensing
Registration or Licensing of Diagnostic Radiographers/Medical Imaging Technologists and Radiation Therapists is a State issue and therefore varies from State to State or Territory.
The Registration Board in the State is the regulating authority for both disciplines and regulations relating to registration in the particular State over-rides all other requirements eg. conditions set down by the Australian Institute of Radiography.
If you are seeking employment in a particular State it is advisable to speak with the particular regulating authority about the requirements for that State. Separate fees apply to each State although some authorities will accept the production of a previous registration or licence as the evidence required to obtain registration or licence in that State.
The regulating authorities are as follows:
