Know where you stand at a glance

The Stats screen shows your progress against your target, so you find out you are behind in March — not in the week before you renew.

Export

Export an audit-ready report

If you are asked for evidence, you need a record — not a spreadsheet you have to rebuild from memory. Export your CPD as a clean report you can send, print or file.

Why it matters

The hours are the easy part. Proving them is not.

Most health professionals do more CPD than they need. What catches people out at renewal is evidence — the hours they did but never wrote down.

Audit-ready, always

Regulators check a sample of practitioners each year. If your name comes up, you need records — not a scramble through old emails and certificates.

Logged while it is fresh

Reflections written a week after a course are honest. Reflections written eleven months later are fiction. Log it on the day, in under a minute.

Nothing goes missing

Certificates in your inbox, a study day in your calendar, an in-service you never wrote down. One portfolio holds all of it, and it is searchable.

One tap to hand it over

Your manager, your CPD home or your regulator asks for evidence. Export the report and send it — the reflections and certificates come along.

CPD requirements by country and profession

How many hours you need, how often they reset, and what you are expected to keep. Set the matching target in MyRoster once, and it tracks the rest.

Australia

Nurses & Midwives

NMBA

20 hours

every registration year

1 June – 31 May

Registration period

A minimum of 20 hours of CPD each registration year for registered nurses, enrolled nurses and midwives.
Hold more than one registration or an endorsement and you need more: 30 hours for a nurse practitioner, 40 hours if you are registered as both a nurse and a midwife.
CPD must be relevant to your context of practice, and your records need to show your learning needs, what you did, and your reflection on it.
Keep your CPD records for at least five years — the NMBA audits a random sample of practitioners and your records must be available.

Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia

Australia

Doctors

MBA

50 hours

every calendar year

1 January – 31 December

Registration period

A minimum of 50 hours of CPD each calendar year, through an AMC-accredited CPD home.
At least 12.5 hours of educational activities, and at least 25 hours of reviewing performance and measuring outcomes — with a minimum of 5 hours in each of those two.
The remaining 12.5 hours can come from any of the three activity types.
You also need a written professional development plan before you start, and you must keep records for three years after each one-year cycle.

Medical Board of Australia

United Kingdom

Nurses & Midwives

NMC

35 hours

every 3 years

3-year revalidation cycle

Registration period

35 hours of CPD relevant to your scope of practice in the three years before you renew.
At least 20 of those 35 hours must be participatory learning.
Revalidation also asks for 450 practice hours, five pieces of practice-related feedback, five written reflective accounts and a reflective discussion.
You keep the evidence yourself rather than sending it in, but the NMC verifies a sample of applications each year and can ask to see it.

Nursing and Midwifery Council

New Zealand

Nurses

NCNZ

60 hours

every 3 years

Rolling 36 months

Registration period

60 hours of professional development relevant to your scope of practice in the previous 36 months.
You also need 450 hours of nursing practice across the same 36 months, and you must meet the Council’s competence standards.
It is a rolling look-back rather than a fixed cycle, and you declare it each year when you apply for your annual practising certificate.
The Council normally audits a sample of nurses each year. That audit is currently paused during its review, but the requirements themselves still stand.

CPD hour requirements compared across Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand
Who	Regulator	CPD required	Period	Target to set
Australia · Nurses & Midwives	NMBA	20 hours every registration year	1 June – 31 May	20 hours, yearly from 1 June
Australia · Doctors	MBA	50 hours every calendar year	1 January – 31 December	50 hours, yearly from 1 January
United Kingdom · Nurses & Midwives	NMC	35 hours every 3 years	3-year revalidation cycle	35 hours, every 3 years
New Zealand · Nurses	NCNZ	60 hours every 3 years	Rolling 36 months	60 hours, every 3 years

These figures summarise published regulator guidance and are a starting point, not advice. Requirements differ by registration type, endorsement and CPD home, and several regulators — including the NMBA and the Nursing Council of New Zealand — are reviewing their continuing competence standards right now. Always confirm the current requirements with your own regulator before you renew. Links to each regulator are above.

FAQ

Common questions

How many CPD hours do Australian nurses need?

The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia requires a minimum of 20 hours of CPD each registration year, and the registration year runs from 1 June to 31 May. You need more if you hold more than one registration or an endorsement — 30 hours as a nurse practitioner, or 40 hours if you are registered as both a nurse and a midwife.

How many CPD hours do Australian doctors need?

The Medical Board of Australia requires at least 50 hours of CPD each calendar year, completed through an accredited CPD home. That includes a minimum of 12.5 hours of educational activities and at least 25 hours of reviewing performance and measuring outcomes, with a minimum of 5 hours in each of those two categories. You also need a written professional development plan before you start.

What counts as CPD?

Anything relevant to your practice that you can evidence — courses, conferences, eLearning, in-service education, mandatory training, journal clubs, supervision and structured reading all count. Regulators expect more than a bare hour count: you should be able to show what the activity was, how long it took, and what you took away from it. MyRoster records the activity type, hours, provider, what you learned and your reflection.

Do I have to keep evidence of my CPD?

Yes. You declare your CPD when you renew, and regulators check a sample of practitioners. Australian nurses and midwives must keep CPD records for at least five years and have them available for audit. Australian doctors must keep records for three years after each one-year cycle. In the UK you keep your revalidation portfolio yourself, and the NMC verifies a sample of applications each year.

Can I export my CPD portfolio?

Yes. MyRoster exports your CPD as a report covering your registration period, with every entry, its hours and type, your reflections, any evidence you attached, and summary totals by activity type. Save it, print it, or send it straight on to whoever asked.

Does MyRoster work if I am not an Australian nurse?

Yes. The CPD target is fully customisable — you choose the number of hours and how often the period resets — so it works whether you need 20 hours a year, 50 hours a year, or 35 or 60 hours across a three-year cycle. MyRoster suggests a target based on the common requirements for Australian nurses, Australian doctors, UK nurses and New Zealand nurses.
