Understanding CPD Requirements for GPs and Practice Managers

The Medical Board of Australia CPD Registration Standard, effective 1 January 2023, introduced a Professional Performance Framework that affects how doctors undertake CPD. Comprehensive information about the CPD requirements can be found on this page or a summary is below.

To meet this standard, GPs must:

Have a CPD home
Complete a Professional Development Plan (PDP) annually
Record 50 hours of CPD annually as shown in the pie chart
Complete CPD activities related to the 3 Program Level Requirements (PLRs): culturally safe practice, health inequities and professionalism and ethical practice
Complete CPR once per triennium – the GP Specialist high-level requirement

GPs can use the myCPD dashboard or app to log their CPD hours, keep track of their CPD progress and easily browse through hundreds of CPD approved activities from RACGP and our network of CPD providers. We recommend that GPs check their dashboard monthly.

Recording in-Practice CPD

Our myCPD home makes it easier for GPs to capture valuable learning and quality improvement activities that practice teams engage in together.

Activities such as Practice Meetings can be recorded as a group activity (one GP records for everyone together), by using the GP Led activity form or each GP can individually record this by using Quick log

In-practice activities, such as practice meetings, can be recorded using one of our forms under the Log menu on myCPD:

Group or practice activity form (one GP records and includes other GPs). See our short video guide
Quick log (for individual recording). See our short video guide

Use our resources under Key CPD resources to identify what in-practice activities count as CPD.

CPD Information Session

We’ll be hosting 2–3 information sessions each year to keep practice managers up to date on CPD and provide opportunities to ask questions and give feedback. These sessions will include practical tips and advice on how to support your GPs in staying ahead with their CPD by recording in-practice activities.

If you’re interested in attending, please let us know via our contact form. For urgent assistance, feel free to reach out directly to our team.

Session dates will be published here soon—so stay tuned!
