No backdating CPD to meet 2024 requirements, RACGP warns
Doctors will not be able to claim CPD activities completed early next year towards the current year’s requirements, the RACGP has confirmed.
Last year was the first year of the new CPD regime, where doctors had to complete 50 hours of CPD activities annually, plus self-reflection activities and a professional development plan.
However, the RACGP — with support from the Medical Board of Australia — let doctors backdate activities completed in January-March 2024 to meet their 2023 requirements.
A similar grace period would not be granted for the 2024 CPD year, the RACGP told members last week.
