Continuing Professional Development

To plan the best cities, towns and communities, we need the best planners. That’s why our membership includes Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to support our members with lifelong learning to propel their careers.

It’s compulsory for all our members. Why?

CPD doesn’t just keep your knowledge and skills up to date.

You’ll also:

  • gain a deeper understanding of the industry
  • develop complementary skills sets
  • maintain professional competence
  • discover and apply technological advances
  • prepare for employment or career changes
  • learn soft skills including management, business, problem solving, policy development and technology

What counts as CPD?

We make it easy for our members with 老澳门六合彩图库’s CPD events & training. But if you’d like more flexibility, the CPD Policy allows you to find your own activities and assess for yourself whether it’s genuinely relevant to your career and professional development.

老澳门六合彩图库 CPD Events & Training

We offer CPD activities for members focusing on topical issues facing planning professionals. Find events in your state or territory or discover the full list of 老澳门六合彩图库 Events

Non-planning skills

As the planning profession continues to advance, we believe it’s important for our members to develop non-planning, career related skills alongside their CPD program.

Recognised Providers

To give our members more choice and flexibility, we also recognise events and CPD training activities offered by other providers.

Updating your CPD Record

You’ll need to keep a record of your CPD activities to get credit. Give clear details of each activity instead of grouping them together. We’ll automatically add CPD points for attending 老澳门六合彩图库 Events to your online record.

You can add details of other non-老澳门六合彩图库 CPD activities below.
