What do I need to do to maintain my registration?

To remain on the register you will need to pay an annual fee for which you’ll be invoiced each year.

Every 5-years there will be a random audit of registrants’ CPD.

All registrants will be contacted in advance of this with detail around the specific requirements.

Those selected for audit will have their CPD records assessed by the Society’s Membership Advisory Group (MAG).
