What this means

This document is a South African Veterinary Council (SAVC) webpage/guide for “Continuing Professional Development (CPD) LAT” explaining what CPD is and how registered veterinary and para-veterinary professionals must comply to maintain their registration. It sets out CPD regulations for veterinarians and para-veterinary professions, including CPD point requirements, recording, deferment, and non-compliance, and describes how SAVC monitors compliance through annual CPD audits. It also explains the SAVC online CPD accreditation process for CPD providers (started October 2019), including automated allocation of structured CPD points on the Registree Portal, and notes that accredited CPD activities remain valid for two CPD cycles (six years) unless re-accredited. The document further states that, effective 1 July 2026, an application fee of R300 will be payable for all CPD provider applications, with an added upload field for proof of payment.
