Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about CPDKeep and AHPRA CPD tracking.
General
What is CPD and why do I need to track it?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is mandatory for all AHPRA-registered health professionals in Australia. You must complete a minimum number of CPD hours each cycle to maintain your registration. CPDKeep makes tracking these hours simple and easier to review.
Which professions does CPDKeep support?
CPDKeep supports Medical Practitioners, Nurses, Midwives, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners, Chinese Medicine Practitioners, Paramedics, Pharmacists, Dental Practitioners, Psychologists, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Osteopaths, Podiatrists, Optometrists, Medical Radiation Practitioners, and Chiropractors. Each profession has source-linked CPD requirement data in the registry.
Is my data secure?
CPDKeep uses managed cloud providers, account access controls, and private-by-default product flows for CPD records and evidence. For a plain-language summary of our privacy and security posture, see our Trust page.
Can I use CPDKeep on my phone?
Absolutely. CPDKeep is designed mobile-first. Log activities, check your progress, and generate reports from any device — phone, tablet, or desktop.
How do I get started?
Sign up for free, select your profession, and your CPD requirements are set up automatically. Start logging activities right away — no credit card required.
Audits & Reports
What happens if I get audited by AHPRA?
CPDKeep generates PDF reports that show your CPD hours broken down by category, with an evidence appendix for uploaded files. You can export these where your plan includes reports, then review them against your own registration obligations before submitting anything.
What CPD categories does CPDKeep support?
CPDKeep supports all AHPRA-recognised CPD categories: formal learning, informal learning, peer review/clinical audit, research, teaching/mentoring, and quality improvement. Each activity you log can be categorised accordingly.
Can I attach evidence to my CPD activities?
Yes. You can upload certificates, receipts, attendance records, and other proof directly to each CPD activity. These are stored securely and listed in the report's evidence appendix.
How do PDF reports work?
With a Starter plan, you can generate PDF reports at any time. These reports show your CPD hours broken down by category, list all logged activities with dates and providers, and include an evidence appendix for uploaded files — formatted for AHPRA audit requirements.
Pricing
How is the free plan different from Starter?
The Free plan covers unlimited CPD activity logging, guided reflection prompts, a basic CPD/progress dashboard, and profession-specific tracking. Starter adds PDF reports with an evidence appendix, email deadline reminders, and unlimited evidence uploads. If you need automation, planning tools, and renewal tracking, Professional adds document and email autofill, forwarding evidence attachments to save@in.cpdkeep.com.au, review-before-save import drafts, the PDP builder, gap analysis, and AHPRA renewal tracking.
Is CPDKeep really free?
Yes. The Free plan includes unlimited CPD activity logging, a progress dashboard, and basic tracking — forever. No credit card required, no trial period.
What's included in the Professional plan?
Professional includes everything in Starter, plus document and email autofill, forwarding evidence attachments to save@in.cpdkeep.com.au, review-before-save import drafts, a PDP builder, gap analysis, AHPRA renewal tracking, and access to the in-app Professional support queue. Professional support requests are reviewed before standard support during business hours, without a fixed response-time guarantee.
What's included in the Team plan?
Team includes every Professional feature for each member, plus central/team billing and seats, invites and seat management, a team dashboard and analytics, staff CPD compliance overview, staff reminder/request flow, clinic/team compliance export, admin notifications/reporting, and privacy-safe summary-only team oversight.
How do deadline reminders work?
When you set your profession and cycle dates during onboarding, CPDKeep calculates your deadline automatically. Starter users receive email reminders as the deadline approaches, including a summary of hours or credits completed vs. required.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Absolutely. You can cancel your Starter, Professional, or Team subscription at any time. You'll continue to have access until the end of your current billing period, then your account reverts to the Free plan. Your data is always yours.
