Professional standards scheme update

Our current Professional Standards Scheme is due to end on 20 August 2025. CPA Australia applied to the Professional Standards Council of New South Wales for a re-make of the Professional Standards Scheme. 

The Council approved the new CPA Australia Professional Standards Scheme on 9 May 2025. The new scheme is consistent with our current scheme, and will operate in all states and territories for a period of 5 years.

Following approval, the Council submitted the scheme to the relevant Ministers in all states and territories for publication of the scheme notice in their respective government gazettes.

The new scheme will commence nationally on 21 August 2025, provided the notice has been gazetted in all jurisdictions by this date. 

We will publish further updates as we receive them.
