The CPD Representative

Roles and responsibilities

The CPD Representative is nominated by the provider. The CPD Representative must complete RACGP training to enable them to undertake the relevant RACGP administrative requirements and be responsible for the development, promotion, delivery and evaluation of CPD activities. The CPD Representative may or may not be responsible for the development and design of CPD activities, depending on their level of educational expertise.

CPD Representatives maintain a close relationship with the RACGP through regular contact with the CPD Program Coordinator from their assigned state office.

Refer to Appendix 2 for further information regarding key roles and responsibilities for developing CPD activities.
