If you're an ATMS member, staying informed about your annual CPE requirements is essential to maintaining your association membership and advancing your professional knowledge. This page outlines how ATMS CPE Points work and how massage therapists can meet them through flexible, online learning.

What Are ATMS CPE Points?

Continuing Professional Education (CPE) is an important part of maintaining your membership with the Australian Traditional-Medicine Society (ATMS). Each year, members are required to complete 20 CPE points through a mix of formal and informal educational activities relevant to their scope of practice.

While there is no restriction on where CPE content must be sourced, the focus should be on expanding your clinical knowledge and enhancing your practice as a remedial massage therapist or other manual therapy practitioner.

Online CPE Options for ATMS Members

For many massage therapists, online learning is a practical way to complete their CPE hours. It offers the flexibility to study at your own pace and fit learning into a busy work schedule. At The Therapy Web, we provide informative, self-paced CPE courses on topics like:

• Chronic pain presentations

• Upper and lower limb dysfunction

• Headaches and migraines

• Fascia, posture, and overuse injuries

You can find our currently available course topics here:

Each course is worth 5 CPE points and includes a downloadable certificate upon completion. These certificates can be used as evidence when reporting your yearly CPE activity to ATMS.

Tips for Meeting ATMS CPE Requirements

• Spread your CPE learning across the year to make it manageable.

• Keep copies of all certificates and course descriptions for your records.

• Choose topics that align with the client presentations you see most often.

• Make sure your learning is relevant to your scope of practice as defined by ATMS.
