Understanding the MRPBA examination

Before you practise as a diagnostic radiographer in Australia, you must pass the MRPBA text examination — a two-part assessment of clinical knowledge and professional capabilities.

📋
What is the MRPBA text examination?
The Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA) assesses overseas-trained practitioners through a text-based examination before granting general registration. It covers Part A — five common capability domains — and Part B — three diagnostic radiography sub-domains. Both parts must be passed.
⚠️
The three-attempt rule
You are permitted a maximum of three attempts at the MRPBA text examination with a minimum of three months between attempts. There is no fourth chance. Every sitting matters. Preparation before your first attempt is critical.
🎯
Why overseas practitioners struggle
The examination tests knowledge of the Australian healthcare and regulatory context — ARPANSA radiation standards, AHPRA professional obligations, Australian positioning conventions, and the MRPBA Professional Capabilities framework. These are not covered in textbooks from other countries.
📚
What is tested and how
Multiple choice questions across all eight domains. Content is derived from the MRPBA Professional Capabilities framework and its prescribed reference texts. MRPBAPrep develops all questions and study materials from these same referenced resources.

All eight domains covered

The examination covers five Part A domains common to all medical radiation practitioners, and three Part B sub-domains specific to diagnostic radiography.

Domain 1
Medical Radiation Practitioner
The technical and scientific foundation. X-ray physics, equipment, digital imaging, CT technology, radiation quantities, and image quality.

Domain 2
Professional & Ethical Practitioner
AHPRA obligations, ethical decision-making, professional conduct, consent, privacy, and the legal framework for radiography in Australia.

Domain 3
Communicator & Collaborator
Communication with patients and the healthcare team. Cultural safety, health literacy, clinical handover, and team collaboration.
