CPD requirements for physiotherapists
What the Physiotherapy Board of Australia's CPD registration standard asks of a physiotherapist with general registration, and how VitalCPD keeps your records ready for an audit.
What the Board requires
- At least 20 h of CPD each registration year (this one: 1 Dec 2025 – 30 Nov 2026).
- A portfolio of all CPD done, with your learning aims and reflection on its impact on your practice.
Registered part-way through the year? Your hours may be less (pro-rata). Work out your own hours.
