Ethics & professionalism programs for Australian health practitioners

Seven programs, each built around a specific problem rather than a topic list. Every one comes in five profession-specific versions, opening with the core course written to your own National Board's standards. One enrolment, one payment, every course unlocked immediately.

  • Built around the concern categories that actually appear in notification letters
  • Five profession-specific versions of every program, not one generic set
  • A$99 per course with no markup for buying a program
  • Dated certificate and structured reflection for every course completed

Questions about programs

What is the difference between a program and a single course?
A course is one topic, about two hours, A$99. A program is a set of courses in a deliberate order, bought in one enrolment, with every course unlocked immediately. Programs also open with the core course written specifically for your profession, so the whole pathway is anchored to your own National Board's standards.
How do I know which program I need?
Use the concern matcher above. It maps the categories that appear in notification letters to a program. If your letter names something not listed, send us the wording and we will tell you which program matches it, or tell you that none of them do.
Why does the price differ between professions?
Because the course count differs. Some professions need an extra course in a given program, for example medicines content for pharmacists or teamwork and handover for nurses. Every program is priced at A$99 per course with no markup for the bundle.
Will a program satisfy a requirement imposed by my Board?
No. No course or program satisfies, discharges or resolves a regulatory requirement, condition or undertaking. Programs are education. If a Board, tribunal or employer has specified education as part of a condition, have your indemnity insurer or lawyer confirm that any course meets it before you enrol.
Do programs count toward my CPD?
They are educational activities, and generally can be recorded as such. No National Board pre-approves individual courses, so you record the time you actually spend against your own requirement and keep the evidence. The reference table above shows what each Board requires.
Can I buy a program for my team?
Yes. Enrolments can be allocated to different team members, and courses can be mixed across professions where a team is multidisciplinary.
Can I buy two programs?
Yes, and the course lists are designed to overlap as little as possible. Insight, Reflection and Remediation is deliberately built without a core course so it can be added to any topic program without duplication.
Is my enrolment confidential?
Yes. Nothing is reported to any regulator, employer or third party. Feedback we publish shows profession and state only, never names.

Not sure which program fits your situation?

Send us the concern category named in your correspondence. We will tell you which program matches it, or tell you that none of them do.
