Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner

20 hours

Cycle
20 hours per year (annual cycle)
Renewal
30 November

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners must complete at least 20 hours of CPD each registration year, including interactive CPD, and keep a portfolio that supports audit evidence.

Registration year: 1 December to 30 November; AHPRA registration renewal is 30 November.

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners complete at least 20 hours of CPD each registration year, including at least five hours in an interactive setting with other practitioners, and maintain a CPD portfolio.

Category and topic requirements

  • Interactive CPD (minimum 5 hours): At least five hours must be CPD in an interactive setting with other practitioners.
  • Scope-relevant CPD: The remaining CPD should improve patient outcomes and experiences, draw on the best available evidence, and be relevant to the practitioner's chosen scope and setting of practice.

Standalone requirements

  • CPD portfolio: Maintain a portfolio documenting learning goals, planned CPD activities, and reflection on how CPD activities are expected to improve or have improved practice.

Caveats

  • If registered part-way through a registration period, the standard sets a pro-rata requirement of five hours for every three months of registration remaining in the period.
  • Education, training, mentoring, or supervision required by the Board or a tribunal should not be counted as CPD for this standard.
  • CPD records must be maintained for five years.
  • The Board's page noted CPD and recency standards were under public consultation until 17 July 2026; this record reflects the current effective standard at the 7 July 2026 review date.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice requirement data is provided for CPDKeep setup and tracking only. Practitioners should confirm current Board guidance for their registration circumstances, exemptions, pro-rata obligation, and audit evidence.
