If you held current registration with a State or Territory registration board on 30 June 2012 you automatically transition into the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme. Your registration is recognised in all the States and Territories of Australia. The Medical Radiation Practice Registration Migration Matrix shows how registration types in place in each State and Territory convert to the new registration types under the National Law from 1 July 2012.
