Why it matters

Most notifications turn on conduct, not clinical skill alone

For Australian practitioners, ethics and professionalism are the areas of greatest regulatory exposure, and the areas these courses are built around.

13,327
notifications about health practitioners nationally in 2024/25, up around 19 per cent on the prior year.
35 per cent
of all 2024/25 notifications concerned the standard of clinical care, the single most common theme.
81.1 per cent
of notifications were closed within six months, so acting early and documenting well works in your favour.

The framework

Five areas the National Boards assess

Every course maps to one of these five areas, so you can go straight to the concern that matters for your CPD or your response.

Ethics, Conduct and Confidentiality

Most notifications turn on conduct and professionalism, not clinical skill alone. This category covers the ethical reasoning, confidentiality and respect that every National Board code of conduct assumes you can apply.

Professional Boundaries

Boundary and sexual-boundary notifications rose 72 per cent to 1,991 in 2024/25, climbing across every profession. Clear, documented limits, in person and online, protect both you and your patients.

Probity, Honesty and Records

Boards treat honesty as non-negotiable. Billing, advertising, open disclosure and accurate records all sit here, and dishonesty escalates a matter faster than almost anything else.

Fitness to Practise and Notifications

If a concern has already been raised, this is the pathway a board wants to see: insight into what happened, reflection, remediation, and a considered response to the notification.

Competence, Communication and Patient Safety

The standard of clinical care is the single most common notification concern, 35 per cent of all matters in 2024/25. Competence, clear communication, safe teamwork and prescribing live here.

Answers

Ethics and professionalism CPD, answered

Common questions about pricing, accreditation, professions and responding to a notification.

What is Ahpra Courses?
Ahpra Courses provides short, self-paced ethics and professionalism CPD written for Australian health practitioners. Every course is mapped to Ahpra and the relevant National Board standards, issues an instant certificate recording about 2 CPD hours, and works for routine CPD or for evidencing your response to a notification.
How much do the courses cost?
Each course is A$99 and records about 2 CPD hours. Bulk pricing brings this down: five courses for A$450 and ten courses for A$700, from A$70 per course. Bulk bundles suit practitioners completing a full CPD cycle and teams buying across any profession, mixed freely.
How do these courses count toward my CPD?
The courses are written to align with Ahpra and National Board standards and issue a certificate recording about 2 CPD hours. You record CPD against your board's registration standard, so confirm how these hours fit your own requirements.
Which professions do you cover?
We publish profession-specific pages for doctors, nurses and midwives, dentists, pharmacists, and allied health and care professionals. Each is written to that profession's code of conduct, and the shared catalogue of ethics, boundaries, probity, fitness-to-practise and competence courses applies across all registered professions under the National Law.
Can a course help after I receive a notification?
Yes. Contact your indemnity insurer first, then the Insight, Reflection and Remediation courses help you document the genuine understanding and concrete change a National Board looks for. They support your written response and demonstrate engagement, but they do not replace advice from your insurer, employer or lawyer.
How do I record these as CPD hours?
On completion you receive a dated certificate recording about 2 CPD hours. You keep it and record the hours against your National Board's registration standard, noting how each course is relevant to your scope of practice. Confirm your board's annual requirement, as it differs between professions.
