The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) standards recommend undertaking a refresher in CPR competence every three years, however, the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines recommend that updates should be completed annually (www.resus.org.au).

In support of the RACGP standards and the latest evidence, it is a requirement of the QI&CPD program that GPs maintain basic life support skills through the completion of a CPR course that meets the ARC guidelines.

In a statement that was released by RACGP under ‘Standards for general practices’ CPR training completed solely online does not meet the training or accreditation requirement!

The CPR component of this course has been approved by the RACGP and QI&CPD Program. GPs simply submit a copy of their CPR Statement of Attainment issued by Intelligent Training Solutions to the relevant State QI&CPD unit for CPD point allocation.

All nurses and midwives must meet continuing professional development (CPD) standards. Nurses on the nurses’ register will need to participate in at least 20 hours of continuing nursing professional development per year. Registered nurses and midwives who hold scheduled medicines endorsements or endorsements as nurse or midwife practitioners under the National Law must complete at least 10 hours per year in education. One hour of active learning will equal one hour of CPD. The CPD must be relevant to the nurse or midwife’s context of practice.

Recognition of prior learning for this certificate will be offered by way of assessment only. Applicants will need to undertake the theory and practical assessment tasks to be deemed competent in this course.

Standard fees will apply. Further information is available by contacting our office.
