There has been an important operational change to the way Registered Migration Agents can complete their annual CPD requirements online.
From 1 July 2026, there is now a maximum of 6 online CPD points that can be completed within any continuous 24-hour period.
This applies to all online CPD combined, including:
- Category A online interactive workshop-based learning (webinars); and
- Category B online private study (distance learning).
In practical terms, this means that completing your entire annual online CPD requirement (for example, a combination of webinars and online private study totalling 10 points in one continuous day) is no longer compliant.
RMAs may not yet be aware of this change.
Before booking CPD, check:
✔ How many CPD points you have already completed.
✔ Whether your mandatory Ethics and Code of Conduct requirements have been met.
✔ Whether you still require Category A points.
✔ Whether your proposed online learning schedule complies with the new 6-point maximum in any continuous 24-hour period.
A little planning now may save unnecessary inconvenience later.
