Participation is pro-rata for the number of months remaining in the CPD year of admission to Fellowship. A tailored program is set up in the online My CPD system to reflect the requirements. 
To see if this will apply to you, please see the table of pro-rata requirements in the RANZCP CPD Exemptions Policy (6.4). There is also support available for breaks and deferrals from CPD, should your circumstances change, even in your first year working as a consultant.

Please note that affiliates who attain Fellowship will be required to complete the full program, as CPD is also a requirement of that affiliate status, unless another reason for exemption is applicable. 

Please contact the CPD team via cpdhelp@ranzcp.org if you have any questions.
