What is Career Development?
Career development is a lifelong process that supports individuals in exploring, shaping, and managing their work and learning experiences across all stages of life. It’s about setting meaningful goals, building new skills, and adapting to change—whether you’re in paid employment, volunteering, or pursuing further education. This journey helps you discover opportunities that align with your interests, values, and aspirations, while also fostering personal growth, confidence, and resilience.
By actively directing your career path, you not only enhance your employability but also find greater satisfaction and purpose in your work. Career development is an ongoing adventure that empowers you to overcome challenges, embrace new possibilities, and create a fulfilling life.

What is a Registered Professional Career Development Practitioner (RPCDP)?
A Registered Professional Career Development Practitioner (RPCDP) is a qualified professional who supports individuals and groups at all stages of their career journey. RPCDPs help people make informed decisions about education, work, and life transitions through services such as career counselling, coaching, assessments, and strategic planning. They are skilled at identifying clients’ unique needs and empowering them to take ownership of their choices, ensuring support is always tailored and client-focused68.
In Australia, an RPCDP is recognised by the Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA). To achieve this status, practitioners must hold a CICA-endorsed Graduate Certificate in Career Development (or higher), or an equivalent career development qualification, and be a Professional Member of a CICA Member Association. This ensures RPCDPs maintain high standards of education, training, and ongoing professional development, and adhere to a strict code of ethics and competency guidelines27.
By meeting these rigorous requirements, RPCDPs demonstrate their commitment to delivering quality, ethical, and effective career development services, enhancing both individual outcomes and the professionalism of the sector as a whole.
