PD Log Book

Three organisations (AUSIT, ASLIA and NAATI) have developed a meaningful, viable and user-friendly system for practitioners to report Professional Development (PD) activities that will count towards both maintaining their membership category and obtaining NAATI revalidation.

NAATI and ASLIA have adopted AUSIT's ‘log book' as the sole basis for reporting PD requirements over a period of time. ASLIA is seeking feedback from members in regards to the log book proforma. ASLIA recently distributed the proforma to all state branches. Please forward all comments to This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it
