FAQ: specialist registration CPD

Codes, Guidelines and Policies

Practitioner audit for medical practitioners

Medical practitioners registered with the Medical Board of Australia (the Board) need to complete a minimum number of continuing professional development (CPD) hours that are relevant to their scope of practice.

The Board’s continuing professional development registration standard is accessible on the Registration Standards page of the Board’s website. This sets out the Board’s expectations in relation to CPD.

These frequently asked questions (FAQ) answer common questions about CPD.

What do I need to do?

You must submit documentation and evidence to substantiate your declaration when you renewed your registration, that you have met the standards for CPD set by your relevant college. This is a requirement of the Board’s CPD registration standard. For most college programs, this means the calendar year ended 31 December. The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine program runs a financial year from 1 July to 30 June.

There are 15 accredited medical colleges. Your specialty is covered by one or more of these colleges.

As you participated in a relevant college CPD program you must demonstrate that you met the requirements of that program.

An AHPRA audit is the same as if you were audited by your relevant college.

As college programs run on different cycles with different requirements, three examples are given below:

A. When your college has a CPD program that concluded at 31 December, you must demonstrate you have met the full requirements of that program. For example:

CPD cycles concluding 31 December	Evidence required
Annual program	You must demonstrate that you met the requirements of the annual program.

B. When your college has a 2, 3, or 5 year CPD program that has annual minimum requirements, you must demonstrate either:

CPD cycles	Evidence required
Annual minimum requirements	You must demonstrate that you met the minimum annual requirements.
2, 3, or 5 year program that concludes in the year under audit	You must demonstrate that you met the all of the program requirements.

C. When your college has a 2, 3, or 5 year CPD program with no annual minimum requirements, you will be required to demonstrate the activities you have completed to date. Your full CPD activities program will be assessed the next time you renew your registration.

There are 15 accredited medical colleges. Your specialty is covered by one or more of these colleges and will be called ‘your relevant college’.

You must submit documentation and evidence to substantiate the declaration you made when you renewed your registration that you have met the standards for CPD set by your relevant college. This is a requirement of the Board’s CPD registration standard. For most college programs, this means the calendar year ended 31 December. The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine program runs a financial year from 1 July to 30 June.

You have a personal obligation to demonstrate that you have met the standards for CPD set by your relevant college. AHPRA is not able to provide college requirements directly to you. Each college decides how practitioners can access their CPD requirements.

You must meet the requirements of your relevant college CPD program whether or not you participated in that program.

You must demonstrate that you met the requirements of the relevant college CPD program. As college programs run on different cycles with different requirements, three examples are given below:
