The Board's Secretariat office will be closed from midday Friday 22 December 2023 to 8 January 2024. 

The Board would like to welcome all new graduates entering the register. Please note New Zealand graduates wishing to be registered must submit their complete registration application by 15 December 2023 and newly registered practitioners must submit their APC application before 20 December 2023 to receive their APC before the Christmas break.

Recertification

CPD is a critical component of the Board’s recertification programme and provides a mechanism for supporting your practice to develop throughout your career. Once you are registered and hold a current APC, you must engage in continuing professional development (CPD).

The Board’s recertification programme is established under section 41 of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (the Act).
