CPD regulation in australia explained
Continuing Professional Devleoplment (CPD) is a crucial aspect of maintaining professional standards and ensuring individuals remain current and competent in their field of specialty.
In Australia, CPD is regulated by industry-specific organisations to align with the needs and expectations of each sector, meaning each industry has its own regulating body or association that sets the CPD requirements for their registered members. These organisations ensure professionals meet their ongoing obligations to maintain relevance, registration, and/or appropriate licencing. Not meeting regulatory requirements may lead to limitations and restrictions placed on the individuals ability to practice within the profession. Learn more here.
