Is your CPD on track?
We all know CPD is an important part of evolving as an OT but it can be tricky to find the time. To meet Ahpra registration requirements, all OTs must complete at least 20 hours of CPD each year by 30 November. If you need a little help to get your CPD on track, we have options to suit any schedule, from live workshops and events to self-directed learning.
