The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) and the following National Boards invite you to have your say on draft revised recency of practice and continuing professional development (CPD) registration standards.
Recent practice and continuing professional development help health practitioners maintain and improve their knowledge and stay connected to their profession. The Recency of practice and CPD registration standards explain what health practitioners must do to meet these requirements when applying for or renewing their registration.
