Frequently asked questions

I sent an email and had no reply.
Check you used the right address in the routing table — the general address is the slowest route for anything specific. If the stated response time has passed, telephone the number for that subject.
Can I visit without an appointment?
The front desk handles document collection and payments during office hours without an appointment. Meetings with the registrar or the secretariat should be booked in advance by email.
Who do I ask about my own registration?
Contact Registration and licensing. Have your registration number ready — it speeds every enquiry up.
How do I report someone practising without registration?
Use the dedicated report form rather than this page: it captures the details the compliance team needs, and it can be submitted without giving your name.
