    How do I create a ThinkGP account?

    Click here to register for a free ThinkGP account. Please make sure that you have entered your correct email address and RACGP and/or ACRRM registration number if you are registered with either of these organisations. Failure to provide a valid registration number will lead to CPD hours not being recorded.

    If you obtain an RACGP or ACRRM registration number after becoming a member of ThinkGP, please make sure you update this information on your account.  

    You can add or edit your RACGP/ACRRM CPD No. by clicking 'Edit your CPD number' at the top of your home screen.

    Is ThinkGP content relevant to me?

    While ThinkGP’s educational content is primarily aimed at Australian general practitioners, our content covers a diverse range of topic areas that may be relevant to nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, practice managers and other healthcare professionals.

    Depending on your profession, ThinkGP activities may be used for self-accreditation by non-GP healthcare professionals. Please contact your college or organisation for further details.

     

    Do ThinkGP educational activities need to be completed in one sitting?

    ThinkGP educational activities save your progress as you go, so you are able to close them and come back at any time to complete the module. However, individual pages within an activity (such as predisposing activities and evaluation forms) must be completed in one go.

     

    How can I see what activities I have done, and re-download certificates?

    Your activities and certificates can be viewed via your Dashboard.

    Please log in to your ThinkGP account first. 

    Green icon


    Click this icon at the top of any ThinkGP page to access your Dashboard.  You need to sign in to your account to see this icon.

    Your Dashboard has a list of any 'Incomplete activities' and a list of 'Completed activities'.  Clicking on the 'Certificate' button beside each of your completed activities will download your certificate in PDF form.

    When will my CPD hours get recorded?

    ThinkGP reports activity completions to RACGP and ACRRM weekly. Your CPD hours should appear within one week, provided your CPD number is correctly recorded. You can view or update your CPD number by logging into your account, where it will be displayed on your screen.

     

    Why haven’t I got my CPD hours for a completed activity?

    The most common reason for ThinkGP users not receiving their CPD hours is due to their RACGP or ACRRM registration number being incorrect or not being provided. The RACGP/ACRRM number you have entered can be viewed at the top of your Home page when logged into your account.

    If you haven't recorded a RACGP/ACRRM CPD number it will say No and be red.  You can click 'Add your CPD number' and it will take you to your Dashboard where your number can be added.

    If you completed activities on ThinkGP before entering your correct registration number, please contact us to have these activities linked to your registration.

     

    Why didn’t I receive a certificate or CPD hours?

    ThinkGP users do not receive a certificate or earn CPD hours if they do not spend the minimum time required for each activity. Reading all slides thoroughly and answering questions properly will ensure you have taken the required time.

    If you completed a ThinkGP activity too quickly and did not get a certificate, please contact us to have the activity reset.

     

    How many CPD hours do I need in 2024?

    Please see the article CPD requirement changes for the 2023 - 2025 triennium for further information.

     

    Does ThinkGP have GPMHSC-accredited Mental Health Skills Training?

    We offer a MHST Core Module, which must be followed by a Clinical Enhancement Module, to allow you to meet the criteria to use the mental health MBS item numbers 2715 and 2717. Click here to view these activities.

     

    Why is a course showing 'Course closed' on my Dashboard?

    Please note: There are a small number of courses that have been temporarily closed while the website has been upgraded. We are progressively re-opening these courses.  If you registered into an audit or course recently and it's now showing as 'Course closed' on your Dashboard, this could be due to the relaunch.  Please check back in a couple of days.

    A course on your Dashboard that shows 'Course closed' means that you have registered into a course that has since been closed. This means that the course is no longer available for you to complete.
