Profession

Midwife

20 hours

Cycle: 20 hours per year (annual cycle)
Renewal: 31 May

Midwives must generally complete at least 20 hours of CPD each registration year, with activities relevant to their context and scope of practice.

Midwifery registration year: 1 June to 31 May; AHPRA registration renewal is 31 May.

Midwives complete at least 20 hours of CPD each registration year.

Category and topic requirements

Scope-relevant CPD: The standard does not set a fixed CPDKeep category split; CPD must be relevant to the midwife's context and scope of practice.

Caveats

Midwives with a notation or scheduled medicines endorsement may have additional CPD hours that CPDKeep does not add to the default standalone midwifery target.
People registered as both a nurse and a midwife must complete the required CPD for both professions; an activity may count for both only when it is relevant to both contexts of practice.
Pro-rata arrangements apply when registration has been held for less than 12 months before renewal.
CPD evidence should be retained for five years in case of audit.
NMBA CPD and recency standards were under public consultation on 3 July 2026; this record reflects the current effective standard at that review date.

Midwifery requirement data is a default CPDKeep setup aid and does not implement notation, endorsement, dual-registration, exemption, or individual NMBA advice beyond the standalone 20 hour profile target.
