CPD Portfolio Reflection / Learning Outcomes

What is reflection?

Reflection is defined as ‘careful, purposeful re‐examination and evaluation of experiences, beliefs

and knowledge’.

Reflective practice involves thinking about and reviewing past actions.

Why reflect on CPD activities?

Acquiring information does not necessarily translate into changes in knowledge or practice.

AHPRA‐registered professionals and APD’s are required to reflect on how information acquired

through CPD was used in or applied to practice.

During the ADEA Credentialling and Re‐Credentialling Review, stakeholders strongly supported

including reflective practice and requiring members to explain how they used CPD in the new

process.

CPD Portfolio Reflection Process

Since reflection is an integral aspect of learning, ADEA’s Annual CPD Portfolio encourages CDE

members to reflect on:

1. How learning from their CPD activities was:

a. Applied to their practice;

b. Changed their practice;

C. Improved their knowledge and competence.

2. Their future learning goals and how their learning needs relate to their role and scope of practice.

Reflection and Competency

The CPD Portfolio Points Guide links various CPD activities to the ADEA National Core
