National Office has a 1300 368 835 number to support members within Australia to have equity in phoning National Office for the cost of a local call. When phoning about CPD, please have your SPA member number ready to help us assist you as efficiently as possible.

SPA Members: If you are registering for CPD Events, you will need to log on using your SPA username and password. As a SPA member, please do not create a new account or you will not be recognised as a current member and your fee will appear at Non Member rates. (Only non-SPA members who do not have a SPA account, need to go to Create Account to proceed with registration.)

We've made the Upcoming SPA Events webpage easier to read at a glance... The coloured buttons have been added for ‘at a glance’ information: the green button shows the event is still open for registration; the orange button denotes an online CPDLive event; the red button shows that registration has closed (1 week before the event); and the blue button indicates the event has sold out.

SPA is offering Live Online 90-minute CPD events run in conjunction with CPDLive Viewing after events extended to six months due to demand.
