Can I claim CPDs for working in the industry?
Continuing Professional Development (CPDs) no longer apply to professional practice beyond March 31st 2016.
As part of our enhancement of the Professional Registration System, feedback from across the industry indicated a need for greater depth of assessed knowledge and learning among registered professionals to ensure quality and credibility. As a result, continuing education credits now apply only to participation in education. This might include approved courses listed at the CPD directory or a range of other eligible education methods.
Currency of practice is still an important principle of exercise professional registration. As a AUSactive registered professional, you will be required to keep your Professional Practice Status up-to-date, so that it is clear which of your registration categories you are practicing in at any given time.
