At CPD Home, we're here to ensure the medical registration of ALL doctors is protected with our easy-to-use online portal.

As a paid CPD Home Subscriber, you can plan, track, and complete your required 50 hours of CPD – with minimal stress. This option meets the requirements of the Medical Board of Australia 2023 standards and you can be rest assured that your CPD compliance will be automatically reported to Ahpra. Your CPD Certificate of Compliance and annual CPD Report are also available for download.

You also get access to our extensive CPD Hub Catalogue of high-quality accredited learning and can undertake learning on our platform or upload learning completed via other providers. If you complete accredited CPD activities listed in our CPD Hub Catalogue, your learning status will be automatically managed, and completion records uploaded to your CPD Tracker.

Already following a CPD program through another CPD home? No worries! You’re still welcome to sign up and access our CPD Hub Catalogue as a CPD Hub Learner - it's free. You will receive evidence of CPD activities completed from our catalogue. However, we do not track or report your CPD progress to Ahpra and you will need to ensure that you are compliant with the new 2023 MBA standards.

AMA (WA) cannot guarantee that external CPD home providers will accept CPD Home accredited learning as being compliant to their program.

Yes. To meet the new CPD standards set by the MBA, you must follow the program set by your CPD home. The AMA's CPD Home has been accredited and captures all mandatory requirements. Our CPD Tracker’s simple dashboard ensures you can see your progress at a glance and be confident that you are meeting the new CPD requirements.

The key elements of the CPD Home Program include the following.

• The annual reporting period commences on 1 January and concludes 31 December.
• The minimal completion of 50 hours of CPD across two domains of learning during a reporting cycle, including mandatory learning is required. This includes completion of CPD activities that address the minimum number of hours for each domain of learning.
• Participation in the two domains of learning encompasses:
  • Domain 1:

    Educational Activities
    (minimum 12.5 hours - maximum 25 hours)

  • Domain 2:

    Reviewing Performance (minimum 5 hours) and
    Measuring Outcomes (minimum 5 hours)
    (Total time: minimum 25 hours - maximum 37.5 hours).

• Prepare and reflect on your written CPD Plan.
• Subscribers are required to engage in CPD activities that align to the Australian Medical Council Ltd Good Medical Practice: A code of conduct for doctors in Australia; 2009. Completed CPD activities must involve one or more of the following CAPE aspects:
  • Culturally Safe Practice
  • Addressing Health Inequities
  • Professionalism
  • Ethical Practice.

  Completed CPD activities for the CPD Year must include a CPD activity that individually addresses each one of the above aspects. CPD activities listed in the CPD Home Catalogue will be assigned applicable CAPE aspects. When uploading other CPD activities to your record, you need to assign the applicable CAPE aspect(s) to the activity.

• The minimum and maximum number of accumulated CPD hours for each domain must be observed. Additional hours will be recorded by the CPD Tracker but excluded in the annual CPD calculation where it exceeds the maximum number of hours by domain.
• You must save and retain your annual CPD activity records for three years after the end of each one-year cycle for auditing purposes by CPD Home and/or the MBA, even if you change to another CPD home service provider.
• Medical practitioners with a specialty registered scope of practice must also meet the high-level CPD requirements set by the relevant specialty college. These can be recorded under ‘Other’ activities for the relevant domain of learning set by the college.

We understand that this sounds complex. Don’t worry, our system is designed to guide you and ensure that you can meet these requirements with the least amount of effort. Our system will prompt you to complete learning, while our odometer gives you an easy, visual representation of your progress.

Every Australian medical practitioner is individually responsible for meeting their continuing professional development (CPD) requirements set out in the Medical Board of Australia (MBA) Registration Standard: Continuing Professional Development. CPD Home provides subscribers access to a comprehensive catalogue of accredited CPD activities.

The CPD Tracker makes it easy to track and record your progress towards meeting your CPD requirements. CPD Home provides subscribers the tools for complying with the standard and will keep track of subscriber progress, providing support and guidance where required.

If you complete external CPD, you must self-record your activity completion record and upload accepted evidence to the CPD Tracker.
