HPCSA Regulations and Compliance

PsySSA would like to highlight a recent HPCSA reminder for all health practitioners. Those not yet CPD-compliant have until 30 June 2025 to rectify their status to avoid penalties. If you’ve recently submitted CPD information, there’s no need to resubmit, as it’s being processed.
Key Points:
CPD compliance requires 30 points (25 clinical, 5 ethical) within a 12-month cycle.
CPD points are valid for 12 months from the activity date.
Check your status and download your compliance letter via the HPCSA self-service portal.
