Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is in place for most professionals in Australia, including doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers and other professionals. In 2004, the Office of Fair Trading recognised builders as also being professionals in today’s world, and introduced a CPD system for builders and swimming pool builders (although that CPD system has changed a number of times since it was introduced in 2004).
Builders should always keep records of their CPD records, and ensure that they earn 12 CPD points in each year. Random audits are always being conducted by the Office of Fair Trading, and being caught out could mean that your licence is suspended until you earn the necessary CPD points to comply.
