Understanding CPD Requirements for Bowen Therapy Federation of Australia (BTFA) Members

If you're a member of the Bowen Therapy Federation of Australia (BTFA), it's important to stay up to date with your continuing professional development (CPD) obligations. Like many professional associations, BTFA requires its members to complete a certain number of CPD hours each year to maintain membership and ensure high standards of care within the profession.

CPD helps Bowen therapists remain informed, enhance clinical skills, and continue delivering safe and effective treatment. It also encourages the integration of new research and best practices into everyday sessions with clients.

While the specific number of CPD hours required can change, Bowen therapy associations in Australia —  BTFA — typically expect therapists to complete at least 20 hours of CPD annually. These hours may include workshops, online courses, seminars, conferences, or research-based activities, depending on the guidelines set out by BTFA.

To meet these requirements, many therapists choose online learning as a convenient and flexible solution. Our online CPD courses are designed specifically for manual therapy practitioners, including Bowen therapists, and come with certificates that can be submitted as proof of CPD completion.

You can explore our course offerings here. Completing just four of our five-hour courses can satisfy the full yearly CPD requirement. Plus, we offer loyalty discounts for bulk enrolments.
