What this means

The document describes cross-recognition of CPD (CEU) activities approved by other statutory health councils. AHPCSA practitioners can attend such activities for CPD if relevant to their scope of practice, without re-accreditation, unless uncertainty exists about scope, in which case approval confirmation is required. It also notes that course content specific to allied health professions must be approved by AHPCSA, and provides required information to claim CEUs (name of approving council, CPD registration reference, and activity details). CEU allocation follows AHPCSA Guidelines.

CPD attendance at activities approved by another statutory health council

AHPCSA practitioners can attend continuing professional development (CPD) activities that have been approved by another statutory health council, provided the activity is relevant to their specific scope of practice. They do not need to seek re-accreditation from AHPCSA to claim CEUs.

Who it is for
AHPCSA practitioners
How to act on it
Attend the CPD activity and retain the CPD certificate issued by the service provider. Submit the name of the approving statutory health council, the council's CPD registration reference, and details of the activity's nature and duration to claim CEUs.
Show the line this came from
all AHPCSA practitioners may attend that activity for CPD purposes if it is relevant to their specific Scope of Practice. Practitioners will, therefore, not need to apply for the activity to be reaccredited by their own CPD Committee or by the Registrar in order to claim the CEUs accrued for attending that activity.
