Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an ongoing process of learning that facilitates health care practitioners to maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge, expertise and competence. Health professionals currently practicing are required to regularly participate in CPD that is relevant to their scope of practice. The CPD requirements of each National Board can be found at AHPRA.
CIAP provides a diverse range of learning activities to facilitate your CPD.
These activities are non-accredited but can be documented as self-directed CPD in accordance with the registration standards of your professional board.
