Following submission and review, ACRRM has confirmed accreditation of the following activity:
ACRRM ID: 39371

This recognition represents a significant milestone for Resuscitation Australia’s educator development pathway and affirms the academic rigour, clinical relevance, and educational quality underpinning the Instructor Accreditation Program. The IAP is designed to equip experienced clinicians with the pedagogical capability, assessment literacy, and faculty leadership skills required to deliver high-quality Advanced Life Support education across diverse clinical settings.
Importantly, this accreditation strengthens access for rural and remote clinicians seeking to formalise their ALS instructor credentials while maintaining compliance with their professional CPD obligations.

This event has been accredited in the 2026–2028 ACRRM CPD Program for:
• 9.5 Educational Activity Hours
