WorkplaceHero is an independent record-keeping tool. We do not accredit learning, certify compliance or guarantee that a regulator will accept your record - meeting your regulator's requirements remains your responsibility. We research regulator and professional body guidance from official sources, record the source and the date we last checked it, and review entries when rules change. Requirements can change without notice, so always confirm the current rules, exemptions and deadlines with your regulator or professional body before relying on them.

Renewal without the scramble

Your learning happens all year. Make sure it counts.

Health practitioners declare CPD to their National Board through Ahpra, accountants follow CPA Australia or CA ANZ membership requirements, lawyers record CPD under state rules and teachers keep PD for registration. Recording learning as you go makes it easier to prepare your evidence, but renewal obligations still need your attention.

01

Record what you did

Add the activity, date, provider and time spent. Courses are only the start - record supervision, reading and learning from practice too.

02

Capture what changed

Add a reflection while the learning is fresh: what you learned, why it matters and what you will do differently in practice.

03

Share when you choose

Export a clear PDF or CSV, or create a read-only link for an appraiser. You stay in control of your record.

PassportPro · Passport Coach

Log it. The coach maps it to AHPRA and the National Boards, CPA Australia, CA ANZ, state law societies, Engineers Australia, AITSL and state teacher registration bodies standards. You approve it.

Matching a year of CPD to AHPRA and the National Boards, CPA Australia, CA ANZ, state law societies, Engineers Australia, AITSL and state teacher registration bodies standards is the slow bit before your return. The coach reads your entries and suggests where they fit. It is a second pair of eyes, not a sign-off.

  1. 1

    Log your CPD

    Courses, reading, casework, supervision. About 30 seconds an entry, with a line on what you took from it.

  2. 2

    The Passport Coach suggests links

    It reads your entries against your regulator's published standards and suggests where each one might fit, with its reason. Fast-changing topics like GDPR, AML or tax need learning from the last 12 months.

  3. 3

    You decide

    Nothing is linked until you tap it. You stay in charge of your record and your declaration, and the coach points out standards you have not evidenced yet.

Questions, answered

Before you start

Can I find my National Board's CPD requirements?
The directory links to official guidance for all 15 National Boards, including nursing and midwifery, medicine, dental and pharmacy. Requirements vary by registration type. Pharmacy credits and other weighted units are not automatically converted from logged hours.
Can I use this for CPA Australia, Engineers Australia or state legal CPD?
Yes, as an independent personal learning record. Choose your body and keep relevant evidence and reflections. Membership, state registration, activity categories and mandatory topic requirements still need checking against the official guidance.
Can I use it for AHPRA CPD?
Yes, as a place to record activities, hours, evidence and reflections. You still declare CPD at renewal and should check your National Board's current standard.
Does it support CPD points or units?
Yes. Record hours and tag entries so you can work out points or units under your body's rules.
Can I share my log with an auditor?
Yes. Export a PDF or CSV or share a read-only link. You choose what to include.
Is it really free?
For individuals, yes, permanently. No card details and no trial that quietly ends.
What happens if I change employer?
Your account and CPD record move with you because they belong to you, not your employer.
Can I add CPD I did before signing up?
Yes. Backdate entries or import a CSV from Excel or Google Sheets.
