Illustration for Social Workers Registration Act 2003

If you are a social worker with limited registration, you can apply to the Board to renew it. You need to give the Board a written application. The Board may renew your registration for up to six months if you pay the application fee set by the Board. The Board will then tell the Registrar to renew your registration and give you a new certificate. This does not apply if your registration is suspended, and is also subject to sections 10(2) and 139(1).
