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.

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.

• 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.

Categories affected:
• Category A online interactive workshop-based learning (webinars)
• Category B online private study (distance learning)
