From January 1st, 2024, the Medical Board of Australia (MBA) has mandated that doctors log their Continuous Professional Development with an accredited ‘CPD Home’. This is according to the MBA's revised Registration Standard: Continuing Professional Development (The Standard).

As the Standard is now in effect, you may risk your medical registration if you're not subscribed to a CPD home.

These CPD Homes coordinate CPD programs, ensure quality activities are undertaken and help doctors keep track of their CPD hours with a system for CPD record-keeping.

Download the Registration Standard here.

Check out the AHPRA website for more information 

Our platform allows you to log and track your CPD activities, access personalised learning materials, and generate reports for compliance purposes. You can securely manage your data and receive expert support as needed, without the fuss, and with the most affordable CPD Home in Australia.

This seems complicated, but doesn’t need to be so CPD Australia have made it easy by breaking it up into small sections for you: 

1) Annual Professional Development Plan: this is to direct lifelong learning, help identify knowledge gaps and learning opportunities. Remember time spent doing – and reviewing – a PDP counts towards the 50 CPD hours required each year. We track this for you. 

2) Registration Requirements: 50 hours overall, split across three types of activities. 12.5h of Educational Activities, 25h of Reviewing Performance and Measuring Outcomes, with a minimum of 5h for each of these, and the remaining 12.5h split anyway you like. 

3) Program Level Requirements: every doctor needs to do at least one activity (minimum 30 minutes duration) that has a focus on Culturally Safe Practice, Addressing Health Inequities; Professionalism and Ethical Practice. We make recording this is as easy as a checkbox. 

4) If you are a specialist, there may be ‘Specialist High Level Requirements’ specific to your college. We organise this for you, and prompt you on how you can get this done easily and quickly, all through the platform.
