Set Your Goals. Track Your Growth. Stay Compliant.

Your CPD Plan is your roadmap for keeping your learning relevant and focused on skills that enhance your scope of practice. It also helps you stay compliant and meet the Standard*.

By creating a CPD plan, you will:

• Focus on learning that directly benefits your scope of practice and patients
• Track your progress with clear, measurable goals
• Meet Ahpra & CPD Home compliance requirements

What do I need to know before I start?

It’s not just a plan—it’s a vision for the future!   Your CPD plan sets the course for the year ahead, ensuring every learning opportunity aligns with your professional goals.

Ask yourself:

• What do I want to learn?  
• Why do I want to learn it?  
• How will I learn it?  
• How will I know if I have successfully learnt it?  

To stay on track, your plan must also meet the Standard* with a minimum of 50 hours of CPD activities across two domains of learning, and any high-level CPD requirements relevant to your specialty.

Can I update my CPD Plan?
