About CPD homes

CPD homes are quality-assured and support safe practice. They:

• provide CPD programs that are robust, monitored and evaluated
• support doctors to tailor CPD to their learning needs
• are accredited by the AMC
• coordinate CPD programs, ensure quality activities and help doctors keep track of their CPD hours with a system for CPD record-keeping 
• make sure doctors meet CPD requirements, including for:
  • culturally safe practice
  • addressing health inequities
  • professionalism and 
  • ethical practice.

All AMC-accredited specialist medical colleges will be CPD homes from January 2023. 

If you do a CPD program in an accredited college or another accredited CPD home, you will automatically meet the requirement to have a CPD home.

If you’re outside a CPD home in 2022/ 2023, keep doing self-directed CPD, as described in the 2016 CPD registration standard. Also keep an eye out for new CPD homes that offer CPD programs relevant to your scope of practice.

All doctors (unless you don’t have to do CPD) will need a CPD home by January 2024.
