When you go to your CPD Diary in 2023, your current triennium will be visible (e.g. 2021-2023, 2022-2024, 2023-2025). However, once that period is over, the next triennium will be automatically created when a development engagement activity is added by a user (staff or member) where it does not fall into a summary period.

Due to migration to a new system, some members will notice their triennium has changed and now reflects a new period. We have had a data cleanse in the new system and this has corrected your triennium period based on your most recent join date. You are required to meet your minimum and overall CPD obligations as per the new triennium.

If selected for a CPD review, we will be reviewing your cumulative records as per old and new system.

Since adding an “End date” for each activity wasn’t a mandatory requirement in the old system, we have had technical issues in migrating these activities to the new system. However, if selected for a CPD review, we will be reviewing your cumulative records as per old and new system.

Due to the system change, you will no longer have access to old records, however, you will be able to request these records by contacting us. Please email [email protected] to get a detailed summary of your CPD activities.
