For accredited CPD activities completed with our Certified Learning Providers, your activity record and accepted evidence will be uploaded to your CPD Tracker within four weeks. The attributable hours of CPD will be reflected in My Dashboard.

It may take up to four weeks for the Certified Learning Provider to upload your learning record. When they do, you will see the hours added to your My Dashboard odometer.

If, after four weeks, the completed learning is not appearing, please contact us by completing our online form.

It is a requirement for a CPD Home Certified Learning Provider to upload your completed learning record on your behalf where their CPD activity has been accredited by CPD Home.

When uploading a CPD activity that is not listed in the CPD Home ‘Catalogue’, you must consider the:

1. relevance of the activity to your registered scope of practice;

2. alignment with the learning goals nominated in your CPD Plan; and

3. educational value of the activity.

To assist you with this determination, a checklist of criteria for assessing and recognising CPD activities not accredited by CPD Home is provided on the website.

When recording a CPD activity that has not been accredited by CPD Home to the CPD Tracker, you must declare that the Criteria for External CPD has been met. Your self-declaration demonstrates you have given due consideration to the relevance and educational value of the activity BEFORE saving the record.

A suitable CPD activity must meet all mandatory criteria and two or more of the other criteria.

Please read the Criteria for External CPD Checklist for more information.

You can only upload .PDF documents and .JPG image files. Modifiable documents, including Microsoft Word or TXT files, are unable to be uploaded as evidence. There are many freeware programs that will allow you to convert documents into PDF prior to uploading them. Alternatively, you can take a photo and upload it as your record of evidence.

You can quickly view your achievements within a reporting period.

    1. Click My Dashboard

    2. Click the View Achievements button under the Mandatory Activity Summary odometer

    3. Scroll down the page to see which CPD requirements you have addressed and areas you still need to focus on.

If you think of a completed activity that addresses the CPD Home Program, or if your speciality registration meets a high-level CPD requirement, click Log Another Activity. You can save your activity and upload the evidence at a later time if you don't have it at hand.

You can create reports that collate your recorded learning activities and evidence.

    1. Under My CPD Activities menu, click the My CPD Reports menu.

    2. Click View Report next to the report you wish to access.

    3. Click Print at the bottom to print your report and evidence. You can also click Download Report and have your evidence stored as a .ZIP file for your convenience.

Within six months of the end of the CPD Year, CPD Home will report to the MBA those subscribers who have achieved a CPD Statement of Completion.

The CPD Tracker automatically collates your CPD hours and learning evidence (e.g., Certificate of Completion). This can be found in the CPD Report template for each reporting period.

Should you be audited by the Medical Board of Australia (MBA) or CPD Home, you can use these reports to confirm your CPD compliance. The CPD reports are formatted to meet your reporting obligations.
