全职妈妈如何申请CPD减免？

yanyu

几个月前生了老二，打算最近几年都不工作了全职在家带两孩子，可是CPD这玩艺让人头疼啊，不知道可不可以申请减免？实在没多少精力搞这些了

Yes, you can apply as long as the reasons are valid (see below extract from CPA website)

cpaaustralia.com.au/member-services/continuing-professional-development

What if I am not working, or working reduced hours?

A reduction of hours for your CPD obligations is available. You can apply for a reduction if you have taken leave from your professional duties. Total and partial reduction of hours may be granted.

Applications can only be made if you have been selected for a review. Email cpdreview@cpaaustralia.com.au with the reason for your application and, where possible, include documents to support your claim.

Examples of supporting documents include:
•a letter from your employer confirming a leave of absence from work (including dates)
•a medical certificate stating your condition, dates, and how the condition affected your ability to complete CPD

What happens if I cannot fulfil my CPD obligations?

If you do not provide sufficient evidence of continuing professional development, your membership status may be downgraded or suspended.

谢谢楼上，级别太低没办法给你加分。

Applications can only be made if you have been selected for a review.
就是说没被选中做review的话就不能申请了？

I'm not sure because I never apply for the reduction on CPD hours. I always have more than enough CPD per annum. It is better to call CPA Australia / CA and confirm this situation.

Well I know there are people out there who do not have enough CPD hours obligations and they take risk of being not being audit by CPA / CA. It is up to you whether you want to take that risk or not.
