Audits are a standard component of maintaining your nursing registration. It is important to have all necessary documentation prepared and up to date to ensure you are ready should an audit occur. This adherence to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia's (NMBA) requirements for continuing professional development (CPD) is essential for compliance.

It’s time to refresh your knowledge of your CPD requirements to help you feel confident you would pass an audit.
