Register for SafeScript

If you are a prescriber or dispenser in Victoria, the Victorian Government Department of Health will email you an invitation to register for SafeScript when SafeScript is rolled out to your region. You can also register for SafeScript at any time.

Before you register

SafeScript 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, SafeScript 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 SafeScript invitation email.
    If you have not received an invitation email, go to www.safescript.vic.gov.au

    The SafeScript 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 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.

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    If the registration details are out-of-date, please contact Ahpra to update them.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

    SafeScript 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 SafeScript.
  2. In the SafeScript 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).
  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 SafeScript.
  5. Click Next.

If you would prefer to use a different email address for SafeScript, you can set up your alternative email address at this point.

To continue with the email address you use for Ahpra , click Next to skip this step.

  1. Enter your Preferred Email Address, then click Send Code.

  4. Click Next.

SafeScript suggests a Username based on your email address. If you prefer, you can enter a different username.

Your username will always have the suffix “@safescript.vic.gov.au”.

  1. Enter your Username.

    Keep a record of your username. You will need it to log into SafeScript.

  2. Enter the Password you will use to access SafeScript, 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.
