CPD Compliance – 5 June 2025 – HPCSA Notice
Health Professions Council of South Africa | eBulletin | 5 June 2025
Dear Stakeholder
The Professional Board for Psychology would like to thank practitioners who are CPD compliant. Those who are not yet CPD compliant, have until 30 June 2025 to correct their compliance status. The following changes relate to the latest amendments made on the Rules Relating to the Continuing Development Programme (CPD):
- All community service practitioners are exempted from CPD obligations.
- The actual annual number of CPD points required to be compliant are listed on both the CPD Rules and CPD guidelines, indicating minimum requirements for both clinical and ethical points.
- Each CPD point is now valid for 12 months from the date on which the activity took place. This means that health practitioners should at all material times maintain the minimum balance of CPD points required for a year, topping-up on an ongoing basis.
- Non-clinical registered practitioners are also required to be CPD compliant in line with the set minimum requirements.
It is the role of HPCSA to amend the Rules Relating to the Continuing Development Programme and not the Board, these Rules apply to all practitioners registered with the HPCSA.

All the best
