CPD Homes: How will the new changes affect you?

Interns and specialist trainees will meet the requirements by participating in their accredited training programs. All other practitioners with a practising form of registration that satisfactorily meet recency of practice will be required to complete 50 hours of CPD annually. This includes a personal CPD plan, and at least 25 hours spent completing more active forms of CPD (reviewing performance and measuring outcomes).

Independently self-managing CPD will no longer be an option. All practitioners will be required to have a CPD Home that will manage their CPD compliance in line with their scope of practice. For many with specialist registration, their CPD Home will continue to be their specialty college. Each practitioner will asked to declare at renewal of registration that they have completed appropriate CPD for their scope of practice that aligns with their CPD Home program of learning. Where a speciality college has higher order CPD requirements, this learning will also be captured through their chosen CPD Home program.

This session snapshot explores important considerations for selecting your future CPD home.
