Continuing Professional Development (CPD) review
Content Summary
To maintain the integrity of the CPD program and its requirements, we conduct an annual review of the records for a selected number of members. If you’re selected you’ll be asked to share your CPD records.
Our CPD Diary will help track your CPD activities to ensure the most streamlined experience for CPD review.
Review period
Your rolling three-year period (triennium) CPD review period relates to when you joined CPA Australia. If you joined before June 30, your three-year period starts 1 January the same year. If you joined after June 30, your three-year period starts 1 January the following year. Your three-year period can be calculated from this date forward. To confirm when your three-year period starts, visit your CPD Diary.
Review process
1. Selection
Members are selected to have their CPD records reviewed.
2. Contact
If you're selected you’ll need to provide details (nature, date, time expended and topics covered) of your CPD activities for the triennium period.
An efficient way to maintain recorded activities is in your diary to demonstrate you’ve met your CPD requirements.
3. Evidence
If we request further evidence of your CPD activities, you’ll need to update your CPD Diary or provide records and evidence for activities.
4. Review
We’ll assess the submitted records against key requirements, including relevance to the member’s career path.
5. Outcome
We’ll contact you with the outcome of your review.
Exemptions
If you’re not working or working reduced hours for an extended time and are selected for a review, you may apply for a reduction of required CPD hours.
CPD Compliance
If you don’t provide adequate records of CPD undertaken, you may be referred to Professional Conduct.
