CPD requirements are now assessed annually rather than every 3 years. Doctors are now required to do a minimum of 50 hours of CPD per year, spread across 3 separate categories (educational activities, performance review activities, and outcome measurement activities). Additionally, all doctors will be required to develop a written professional development plan.

Further information about specific requirements can be found in the HETI CPD Home Handbook.

From 1 January 2023 all doctors registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) are required to meet new CPD requirements.

Specialist medical colleges have automatically received accreditation as CPD Homes, and vocational trainees enrolled in their programs will not be required to sign up with a separate organisation. Additionally, PGY1 and PGY2 doctors working in accredited prevocational training positions are exempt from CPD Home requirements.

All other fully registered doctors must be registered with a CPD Home to satisfy new CPD requirements and renew their registration in 2024.

Prospective members are now able to register their interest in joining HETI CPD Home by submitting their information in this webform.

HETI CPD Home staff will assess eligibility and then email members to either request further clarification or to confirm their status. Then, once the portal system is live, members will be notified via email to log on to pay the required annual fee, formally register as members, and start to upload evidence of their CPD activities for the year.

You must be a fully registered medical practitioner working in NSW in 2024 to join HETI CPD Home. Medical specialists, doctors enrolled in a vocational training program, and PGY1 and PGY2 doctors working in an accredited prevocational training position are not eligible to join.

An annual fee of $550 (inclusive of GST) is payable once formally registered as a member. This fee can be paid in multiple instalments via the payment gateway. A pro-rata fee will be charged depending on when members sign up during the year.

Further information can be found in the HETI CPD Home Handbook.

Members that decide to leave HETI CPD Home more than 14 days after formally registering as a member and paying their annual fee will NOT be eligible for a refund.

Yes, HETI CPD Home is accredited by the Australian Medical Council and will conduct the required compliance reporting and auditing necessary to assist members to maintain registration. A list of doctors in compliance with CPD requirements will be submitted by 30 June after each calendar year.

No, member CPD records will not be shared by HETI CPD Home with other HETI or NSW Health organisations unless specifically requested to do so by the member.
