Registration as a nutritionist must be renewed every three years. Renewal of registration is based on achieving a certain number of continuing professional development (CPD) points. Registered nutritionists are required to provide evidence of a total of 300 points of CPD over three years (100 per year). Further details can be found in the Guide to Continuing Professional Development [.pdf - 71KB].
If you attend a conference or seminar and also present there, you get the CPD points for attendance AND the CPD points for presenting. For example, if you attend the ASM for the full four days (50 points) and do a presentation there (50 points), you earn a total of 100 points. However, if you do more than one presentation at a single event, you may only claim the points for one presentation.
Study or advanced training could occur at any time within the three-year period i.e. not all undertaken in one year, but would be averaged over the three-year period.
The cost to renew your Registration is $200 for a three year term.
