CPD Recognition

This program has been designed to meet the continuing professional development (CPD) requirements of practitioners across many professions, such as corporate governance, law, pharmacy, and cybersecurity. Each session addresses AI policy issues of direct professional relevance and maps to mandatory CPD fields recognised by the relevant Australian regulatory and professional bodies.

Download the CPD Mapping Guide for information on eleven professions. If your exact profession is not listed, the Guide will be of use.

Practitioners are responsible for determining the relevance of each activity to their own professional development needs. A certificate of attendance will be issued by the Social Cyber and Tech Academy to all participants upon completion of the program. For pharmacists, a session summary is provided to support reflective documentation. For further information, contact us directly.
