Evidence Requirements

Evidence requirements explain what information or documentation you may need to keep to support your CPD activities. They help ensure CPD activities are accurately recorded and can be confirmed if required.
On this page

What counts as evidence?

Evidence is documentation that demonstrates you have completed a CPD activity and, where relevant, reflected on or applied your learning.

Appropriate evidence supports:

  • accurate CPD recording
  • consistency across the CPD Program
  • confidence in recognised activities

Why evidence matters

Evidence requirements help maintain the integrity and credibility of the CPD Program.

Maintaining appropriate evidence:

  • supports accurate CPD records
  • helps demonstrate participation if requested
  • aligns with professional and regulatory expectations

Examples of acceptable evidence

Depending on the activity, evidence may include:

  • certificates of completion
  • attendance records
  • reflective notes or summaries
  • practice review or improvement documentation

Evidence requirements may vary depending on the CPD category and activity type.

Your responsibilities

As a CPD participant, you are responsible for:

  • recording your CPD activities
  • retaining appropriate evidence
  • ensuring records are complete and accurate

Clear recognition information supports you to understand evidence expectations in advance.

Where to find evidence guidance

For detailed guidance on evidence, view the Evidence by CPD category page.

Tools and templates are also available to help you manage evidence effectively.
