Profession

Paramedic

30 hours

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

Paramedics must complete at least 30 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.

Paramedics complete at least 30 hours of CPD each registration year, including at least eight hours in an interactive setting with other practitioners.

Category and topic requirements

Interactive CPD (minimum 8 hours): At least eight hours must be CPD in an interactive setting with other practitioners.
Scope-relevant CPD: The remaining CPD should improve patient outcomes, draw on the best available evidence, and be relevant to the practitioner's scope and setting of practice.

Standalone requirements

CPD portfolio: Maintain a portfolio documenting learning goals, planned CPD activities, reflection on practice improvement, and evidence of completed activities.

Caveats

If registered part-way through a registration period, the standard sets a pro-rata requirement of seven and a half hours for every three months of registration remaining in the period.
Planning and reflection time does not count towards the 30 CPD hours.
CPD records must be maintained for five years.
The Board's page noted CPD and recency standards were under public consultation on 3 July 2026; this record reflects the current effective standard at that review date.

Paramedicine requirement data is provided for CPDKeep setup and tracking only. Paramedics should confirm current Paramedicine Board guidance for audit evidence, exemptions, and pro-rata obligations.
