Register for QScript

If you are an Ahpra-registered prescriber or dispenser of monitored medicines in Queensland in a profession eligible to access QScript, the Department of Health will email you an invitation to register for QScript when QScript is available.

If you are a health practitioner registered with Ahpra in more than one profession eligible to access QScript (e.g. you have Ahpra registration as both a pharmacist and medical practitioner or as a medical practitioner and dentist), you will need to register a separate QScript user account for each profession. You will need to nominate a different email address to use with each QScript user account.

Before accessing and using QScript, you must carefully read, and agree to the QScript Privacy Collection Notice for Health Practitioners and QScript Terms of Access and Use – Health Practitioners.

Before you register

QScript 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, QScript 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 QScript invitation email.
    If you have not received an invitation email, go to https://www.qscript.health.qld.gov.au

    The QScript 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.

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    If the registration details are out-of-date, please contact Ahpra to update them.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

    QScript sends an email containing a verification code to the email address associated with your Ahpra registration (as shown in the screenshot in the next step).

  1. Go to the email account used for your Ahpra registration, then copy the verification code sent by QScript.
  2. In the QScript registration portal, enter the Verification Code, then click Verify.

  3. Required for prescribers: Enter your Prescriber Number (Note: This field is not displayed to pharmacists).

    For Podiatrists, the Prescriber Number is not required. For other prescribers that do not have a Prescriber Number, please contact Support to complete your registration.

  4. Optional: Enter your Contact phone number (without any spaces). This number will be kept private and will be used only to communicate with you about QScript.
  5. Click Next.

QScript requires you to have a unique email address for correspondence, such as password reset emails to be sent to you. Aphra registration, on the other hand, does not require a unique email address, so it is possible for multiple practitioners to be registered in Ahpra with the same email address—for example [email protected].

If your Ahpra email address:

Scenario 1: Alternative email address is required

If your Ahpra email address is already associated with a registration, you will see the following message:

  2. Go to your email account, then copy the verification code sent by QScript.

  3. In the QScript registration portal, enter the Verification Code, then click Verify.

  4. Click Next.

Scenario 2: Alternative email address is optional

If your Ahpra email address is unique, then at this step, you will see the prompt shown below:

You can choose to:

  • Use your Ahpra email address as your username and for all correspondence from QScript. For this choice, leave the email address blank, and click Next.

  • Add an alternative email address. This will become your username and will be the address for all correspondence from QScript. For this choice:

    1. Enter your alternative email address, then click Send Code.

      QScript sends an email with a verification code to the email address you entered.

    2. Go to your email account, then copy the verification code sent by QScript.

    3. In the QScript registration portal, enter the Verification Code, then click Verify.

    4. Click Next.

Your username is your email address (either the email address associated with your Ahpra registration, or the preferred email address, if provided). To change your username after registering, contact Support.

  1. Enter your Username.
  2. Enter the Password you will use to access QScript, then enter it again in the Re-Type Password field.

    Your password must be between 8 and 16 characters, and contain uppercase and lowercase letters, at least one number or symbol (eg. !?&), and no spaces.
