AUSactive Audit Policy
Registration Requirements
AUSactive registered and accredited professionals are required to maintain nationally recognised current First Aid and CPR certifications. AUSactive accredited professionals are required to complete and upload 20 continuing professional development (CPD) points every two-year period. Typical sources of evidence of CPD points include transcripts of results and/or completion certificates.
Audits may require professionals to supply evidence of their professional indemnity insurance that covers the scope of all activities undertaken, whether in a professional or voluntary capacity and formal industry qualifications or applicable formal education for AUSactive registration. Registrants agree to abide by the AUSactive Professional Code of Ethical Conduct. A registrant selected for audit will receive notification via email and/or mail including an outline of the audit process and requirements.
- A registrant selected for audit will receive notification via email including an outline of the audit process and requirements.
- The registrant will be required to submit evidence of their compliance with registration requirements within a 30 day period. If evidence is not submitted within 30 days, the registrant is deemed non-compliant.
- AUSactive will review the evidence presented within a 14-day period.
- If the registrant is found to have complied with registration requirements, they will be notified via email or mail immediately.
Non-Compliance
If a registrant is found to be non-compliant with registration requirements, they will be notified immediately and the following process will apply:
- Suspension of the individual's registration, including the removal from the listing on the AUSactive Register of Professionals.
- Individuals who are suspended will be required to present their current First Aid and CPR qualifications prior to their renewal of registration.
Appeals Process
Registrants who are sanctioned as a result of the audit process may appeal the decision in accordance with the following terms:
- A written appeal clearly stating the reason for appealing the decision must be submitted to AUSactive within 28 days of receiving notice of the sanction.

Deferral
AUSactive recognises that registrants may need to defer the audit due to unforeseen circumstances. To defer the audit process, the registrant must submit a detailed written explanation to AUSactive. Those who defer the audit process will still be chosen for audit post the deferral period. The maximum deferral period is 3 months.
