All the current and some of the past core and elective activities are listed on the CPD activities page. 

Core and prescribed elective CPD activities are paid for by Consumer Protection. However, the cost of attendance at any other approved elective activities is at the participant's expense.  Consumer Protection will not fund a participant to attend the same activity twice in the same year.

Yes. CPD activities are divided into two categories: core and elective.

Core activities are specified by Consumer Protection and address the latest industry compliance issues, legislative change and work practices.. You must complete at least two of the core activities each year.

Participants can choose the elective activities to make up the balance of the six CPD points.  They can choose topics with a specific relevance or interest to them or their business from a list of elective activities approved by Consumer Protection.  Alternatively, a participant may make up the outstanding points by attending another core activity.

Activities attracting CPD points include seminars, lectures, workshops and distance education courses. To qualify as a valid CPD activity, an activity must be approved by Consumer Protection. For this to occur it must have an educational outcome and be industry specific. If approved, the activity will be listed below on this page.

The professional development subjects that CPD training must address are listed in the Settlement Agents Regulations 1982 (Schedule 1A). The list of subject areas is broad and endeavours to increase participants' industry knowledge and develop skills in relevant areas.

The certificate of attendance is evidence of your participation in the CPD program. Please keep it in a safe place as proof of your completion of the CPD activities.
