What happens if you don't meet CPD requirements?
CPD compliance is mandatory for every registered podiatristin Australia. Here's what's at stake if you fall short.
Registration can be refused or cancelled
Your National Board can refuse to renew your registration if you cannot demonstrate that you have met your CPD requirements.
You can be audited at any time
Your National Board may select you for a CPD audit at any point during your registration period. You must be able to substantiate every hour you claim.
Disciplinary action may follow
If you are selected for audit and cannot provide evidence of your CPD, the Board may take disciplinary action — which can become part of your public record.
Conditions may be placed on your practice
The Board may impose conditions or undertakings that restrict how, where, or what you can practise until your CPD is brought up to standard.
You still pay the registration fee
Even if your renewal is refused due to non-compliance, you are still liable for the registration renewal fee. Non-compliance is not a refund.
CPDKeep keeps every activity, certificate, and hour documented — so you're always audit-ready.
