Register for ScriptCheckSA

If you are a prescriber or pharmacist in South Australia, DDU will email you an invitation to register for ScriptCheckSA when ScriptCheckSA is rolled out to your region. You can also register for ScriptCheckSA at any time.

Division 1 Nurses with a Nurse Practitioner endorsement, and Specialist Podiatrists with a Scheduled Medicines endorsement are also eligible to register for and access ScriptCheckSA.

Before you register

ScriptCheckSA uses your Ahpra registration information to identify you. You should ensure that your details held by Ahpra are current.

Make sure you have:

  • Your Ahpra number.

  • A unique email address accessible only to you.

By default, ScriptCheckSA uses your email address held by Ahpra. If this address is shared by other practitioners at your organisation, you will need to enter an alternative email address during registration.

  1. Click the link in your ScriptCheckSA invitation email.
    If you have not received an invitation email, go to https://register.scriptcheck.sa.gov.au/

    The ScriptCheckSA Practitioner Registration screen is launched in your web browser.

    • If you came here from the link in your invitation email: Your Ahpra Number is pre-populated. If it is incorrect, please contact Support.

    • If you have not received an invitation email: Enter your full Ahpra Number.

  2. Enter your Date of Birth, then select I consent to using Ahpra to verify my details and retrieve my email address in my Ahpra profile.

    ScriptCheckSA checks your Ahpra registration status. If your date of birth is correct and your registration is current, further details from your Ahpra registration are displayed.

    If the registration details are out-of-date, please contact Ahpra to update them.

    To change your username after registering, contact Support.
