Probity and Honesty for Healthcare Professionals

Probity and Honesty for Healthcare Professionals is a CPD course for practitioners in Australia who want to strengthen integrity and accountability in their practice. It is especially valuable for those facing AHPRA notifications, remediation, or fitness to practise investigations, as well as those seeking CPD to reinforce professional values in daily work.

The course explains what probity means in healthcare and why honesty and transparency are essential for safe, ethical, and professional conduct. Learners will explore AHPRA and National Board expectations, common probity breaches such as falsifying records, misrepresentation, and Medicare billing concerns and wider financial dealings, and the regulatory consequences of dishonesty. Case studies and scenarios highlight how probity links to professionalism, ethics, and fitness to practise outcomes.

By the end of the course, participants will understand how to uphold probity in documentation, communication, financial dealings, and team interactions. They will gain practical tools to declare conflicts of interest, demonstrate insight after a lapse, and contribute to a workplace culture built on trust. This course equips healthcare professionals to maintain public confidence, protect their registration, and embed honesty into all aspects of their professional practice.
