    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Professional Development
    • Healthcare Policy

    Background:

    • Mandatory continuing professional development (CPD) is a global standard for nurses.
    • In Australia, CPD has been a requirement for nurses since 2010.
    • Numerous barriers hinder nurses' engagement with CPD activities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the landscape of mandatory continuing professional development (CPD) for nurses in Australia.
    • To identify common barriers faced by nurses in meeting CPD requirements.
    • To highlight government-led initiatives designed to support nurses in overcoming these barriers.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing studies on nursing CPD.
    • Analysis of policy documents from Australian state and territory governments.
