Why this matters now

Accredited by the RACGP — including up to 17.5 Measuring Outcomes hours.

Our Medical Mindfulness in Practice program delivers 32 RACGP CPD hours, including 17.5 MO hours — the category most GPs find hardest to fulfil each year. Start from a A$15 introduction or step into the full program.

A clinical skill — not a wellness add-on

Built for the realities of real work.

Reset in under two minutes

Practical micro-techniques for use during the day — not just at home, not just on weekends. Reduce the carryover that follows you home.

Use it with confidence

Optional patient-facing scripts and reporting templates, so the techniques translate directly into the consult room or the workplace.

Cover the hardest hours

For GPs, the full program covers 17.5 Measuring Outcomes hours — the CPD category most struggle to complete each year.

Physicians who practise mindfulness show greater empathy, improved clinical communication, and significantly reduced burnout — with effects that persist at 15-month follow-up.

Set up your plan

We've made it easy for you to set up a CPD-compliant, quality assured plan with just a few clicks:

Your personal wellbeing baseline using standardised survey
Mindfulness techniques curriculum
Masterclass on integration and application into patient care
Assistance with selecting patients to participate
Support with patient information and consent
Guidance on what to measure and when to realise CPD points

All this is covered and included in the course*
*You will simply record patient confidential information in your medical system as you would normally according to the guidance on "what to measure when".

PHASE 1
LEARN MINDFULNESS

Each module, you'll watch a short video lesson that introduces a mindfulness technique and shows how it can be used in everyday general practice. Then, it's time to put it into action!

You'll begin your personal mindfulness practice, by following the guided audio sessions we've prepared for you — coming up soon on the audio page.

What to Expect:

Evidence-based mindfulness techniques
Practical demonstrations
Short exercises you can practise immediately

You’ll be encouraged to apply mindfulness as you watch—using guided breathing, posture awareness, and attention techniques.

PHASE 2
INTEGRATE INTO PATIENT CARE

You'll participate in a peer discussion and exchange to support you. Once you've identified suitable patients, you’ll begin applying simple mindfulness interventions into your consultations.

How to Apply Mindfulness in a Session:

Micro-practices: Guide patients through short, simple mindfulness techniques
Use the Supplied Resources: Access ready-to-use scripts & exercises to share
Observe and adjust: Notice how the patient responds and tailor the approach

Each patient will respond differently—your role is to introduce techniques in a way that suits their needs.

PHASE 3
REPORT YOUR CPD MEASURED OUTCOMES

To ensure your CPD is recognised, you will document how mindfulness techniques impact your consultations.

How to Earn CPD Points:

Use the CPD Tracking Template to record key insights
Log how mindfulness impacts patient interactions over time
Submit your outcomes for Measured Outcomes CPD accreditation

For us to review your submissions, please ensure that your final reporting and all required materials are completed by December 7th.

This structured approach ensures that your learning is not just theoretical—it has measurable outcomes in your practice.
