CPD SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

The AHSCP Chair letter of 4 April reminded CPHS that a CPD Audit will be undertaken for the 2025/26 CPD year. Due to the transition to AHS, it will be a manual process this year. 

Note for S+SNZ members – you should compile your CPD via the usual S+SNZ process. You are not required to complete AHS CPD unless you are a dual member.

The AHS CPD audit 2025-26 will be aligned against the old GCA policy.  

It is understood that GCA CPD has not been available, there are many routes to achieving 15 CPD points through other conferences and meetings; World Hydrography Day; as well as webinars and other material available from the broader hydrographic community.  

A new AHS CPD policy will be rolled out in 2026-27 and will make access to CPD easier. The new CPD Policy will have a focus on CPD activity delivered by registered organisations that allows for a greater range of potential sources for CPD activities; with the main focus on the alignment of the CPD to the IHO S5 syllabus. The AHS is focused on bringing more quality education/training and development opportunities to the hydrographic community, and those opportunities may come from your local Institute of Surveyors, Surveyors Australia as well as professional training coming into the region through advocacy from the AHS. The new CPD Policy will also recognise the value and effort from volunteers in our profession, without who, things like the AHSCP would not be able to operate.

For the 2025-6 CPD Audit, to be eligible to submit CPD you must fulfil the following two criteria:

      1. Your name appears on the List of CPHS 2026. This list comprises CPHS who passed the CPD Audit 2024-5 or were certified in FY 2025-6.
      2. You are an active AHS Professional Member

Contact ahs.cp@defence.gov.au if:

        • your name does not appear on the List of CPHS and you believe it should, send your CPD Log 2024-5 and proof of payment to GCA 2024-5  by 31 July
        • you have queries around joining as a Professional Member (see attached guide for process)

When you submit your CPD Activity Log, you will be asked to provide:

      1. Your full name (and preferred name if different)
      2. A screenshot of your digital AHS Membership card (found under your Profile) – ensuring it captures your member number and expiry date
      3. CPD Activity Log Excel
