The DRANZCOG is a time-limited qualification issued for a period of three - five years in the first instance (adjusted to align with the period of the RACGP Quality Assurance and Continuing Professional Development Program and the ACRRM Professional Development Program). Recertification occurs every three years thereafter and is dependent on the accumulation of points over the three years for approved activities in the areas of Women’s Reproductive Health within the RACGP QA & CPD Program or the ACRRM PDP.
