Completion of one approved cultural safety activity was mandated by the College Board from the 2020 CPD cycle and remains a requirement in the new program for Australian participants. Aotearoa New Zealand registered practitioners are asked to maintain a focus on cultural competence, cultural safety and health equity in all of their recertification (CPD) requirements.
The requirement reflects the commitment of ACEM to the integration of cultural safety through avenues such as the ACEM Reconciliation Action Plan, the Expert Advisory Group (EAG) on Discrimination Action Plan and the Discrimination, Bullying and Sexual Harassment (DBSH) Action Plan.
