mini��ý���

The mini��ý��� CPD program has moved to an annual cycle, to bring the program into alignment with changes to CPD Registration Standards in Australia (MBA), and Recertification Requirements in Aotearoa New Zealand (MCNZ).

The CPD cycle is based on a calendar year from 1st January to 31st December.

The PDP is a plan of your development requirements based on reflection of your practice and assessment of your skills, knowledge and educational needs.

All CPD program participants (including those in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand) must complete a PDP, under the Performance Review (PR) domain, every CPD cycle.

The annual structured conversation is a reflective practice activity that provides an opportunity for you to:

All CPD program participants in Aotearoa New Zealand must complete an annual structured conversation, every CPD cycle.

Program participants in Australia may also choose to complete an annual structured conversation; however, this is not a mandatory requirement.

Specialist medical colleges can propose ‘high-level CPD requirements’ that must be offered by the different CPD Homes. The purpose of these subspecialty-specific requirements is to ensure consistency across CPD programs.

A high-level CPD requirement can be any activity from the Education Activities (EA), Outcome Measurement (OM) or Performance Review domains. All medical professionals with specialist registration in Australia must meet any relevant high-level CPD requirements.

Please note that mini��ý��� has not specified any specialist high-level CPD requirements for the 2024 and 2025 CPD cycles.

The three CPD domains of the mini��ý��� CPD framework are: Educational Activities (EA), Outcome Measurement (OM)�����Ի���Performance Review (PR).

Please refer to the CPD Framework.

Each CPD cycle, you’re required to record a minimum of 50 CPD hours across three domains, as outlined in the table below.

Please click the button below to explore mini��ý��� CPD Framework, which outlines the types of activities that fall under each domain.

Alternatively, if you’re experiencing difficulties in meeting your CPD requirements, our CPD team may be able to assist in identifying activities that fall under the OM and PR domains.

For every logged CPD activity, the College recommends uploading evidence of participation to your Integrate profile.

At the end of each CPD cycle, the College conducts a random check of five per cent of the CPD program to verify CPD hours claimed. If selected for a verification check, your evidence of participation may include the following documentation:
