Overview

What this workflow does

Australia runs a single national register across the regulated health professions, and this workflow reads it the way a credentialing officer does: find the practitioner, open their record, and capture the whole picture. One run verifies one practitioner and returns the registration status and number, the registration type, the profession and any specialty or endorsements, every condition, undertaking, reprimand, or notation on the registration, and the expiry date.

You search by registration number when you have it, the exact path, or by name with an optional profession filter. A practitioner who isn’t on the register is a normal not-found result, reported as such.

How Asteroid runs this workflow

One practitioner in, the register's full record out

A practitioner arrives from your credentialing roster, Asteroid searches the AHPRA register and reads the full registration record (type, conditions, expiry), and the evidence lands back in the roster, with possible matches and unexpected conditions routed to your team instead of flattened into a green tick.

How it actually runs

1. The agent opens the AHPRA public Register of Practitioners. The site is protected by a web application firewall, so the agent always enters through the homepage and navigates to the register search rather than deep-linking, runs with an Australian residential proxy and captcha-solving profile, and never fabricates a challenge token: if verification genuinely can’t complete, the run errors honestly.
2. It searches by registration number, or by name with the profession filter applied when provided.
3. It classifies the result: found, not found, or multiple matches, with the registration number resolving a multiple-match exactly.
4. It opens the matched practitioner’s record and reads the full detail: status, registration number and type, general, specialist, limited, provisional, student, or non-practising, profession, specialty and endorsements, the conditions list, and the expiry date.
5. It screenshots the record as evidence, timestamps the check, and returns one structured record. Anything the register doesn’t show comes back null.

Registration status, type, conditions, expiry, and evidence

Registration status, type, conditions, expiry, and the evidence screenshot land in the roster with a timestamp, ready to drive rostering decisions and the expiry calendar.

Closing the loop

What lands back in your system

Nobody on your team reads this JSON. Your system does. Each run delivers its record wherever the work already lives, and the loop closes on its own: requests in, records back, no one in the middle.

“Registered” isn’t one word in Australia

The register doesn’t answer yes or no; it answers with a type and a history. A practitioner can hold limited or provisional registration, be registered as non-practising, or carry conditions and undertakings on an otherwise current registration, and every one of those changes what they’re actually cleared to do. A verification that flattens that into a green tick can roster someone into work their registration doesn’t cover. This workflow captures the type, the conditions, and the register’s own wording, so the judgment is made by your team with the full record, not by a checkbox.

At scale

One practitioner, or the whole roster’s expiry calendar

A single run verifies one practitioner. As a program, the roster runs on the register’s expiry cycle and your onboarding cadence, and the exceptions, lapsed registrations, new conditions, non-practising statuses, land with your team with the register’s record attached.

Human in the loop

What escalates to a human

The register is public information, and the check reads only what any member of the public could; no patient data is involved anywhere in the run. Every run is logged with a full audit trail on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure.

1. Conditions, undertakings, or a reprimand on the registration.
2. Multiple matches on a name.
3. The firewall not clearing.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Our credentialing workflow is Australian-specific. How is the template shaped to it?

The register read is fixed; the workflow around it is configured to your credentialing process. You choose the inputs (registration number for the exact path, or name with an optional profession filter), which record fields you need (registration type, specialty and endorsements, the conditions list, expiry date), the output format, where records land, and which findings pause for your team.

What does the agent need to access the AHPRA register, and where do results go?

No credentials from you: the AHPRA Register of Practitioners is public. The site sits behind a web application firewall. Practitioner requests arrive as roster rows, sheets, or API calls.

What happens when a practitioner cannot be found or the firewall will not clear?

A practitioner who is not on the register is a normal not-found result. Multiple matches on a name come back for a person to resolve.

What audit evidence does each verification produce, and where does human judgment sit?

One structured record per run: registration status and number, registration type, profession, specialty, the conditions list in the register's own wording, and expiry date, plus a screenshot of the register's record and a checked_at timestamp.
