Log your hours as you go. CPDfolio checks them against your scheme's categories, not just the total. Every certificate stays attached. When Engineers Australia or your licensee asks, the pack is already built.

Almost nobody fails on the total. They fail on one category they weren’t counting.
150 hours over three years is the headline. Inside it sit 10 hours of risk management, 15 hours of business and management, and 50 hours in each area of practice you claim. Miss one and the total doesn’t save you. CPDfolio tracks each on its own, so a gap shows up while you still have time to close it.
40 hours a CPD year, including at least 9 hours of professionalism and ethics. At least 70% has to be activity your licensee approved. CPDfolio shows your approved share against that 70% line as you log.
Set your goals for the cycle at the start. As you log activities, the hours land against the goals you set. When someone asks what you planned and what you did, that’s one page, already written.
When you leave a licensee, they give you a copy of your CPD records for the years you were with them. Change licensee twice and your history sits in three places. CPDfolio is your own copy, from your first logged hour to your last. It doesn’t reset when you move.
One PDF, laid out in the order they read it, with every certificate linked.
A sample export from a demo account. Yours uses the same layout from your first entry.
Choose your scheme at setup. The dashboard, your plan and the audit pack then use its cycle and categories.
10 hours risk management. 15 hours business and management. 50 hours in each area of practice. Work across two areas and some hours count toward both. CPDfolio does that maths.
9 hours of professionalism and ethics, plus technical competence, client care, and regulatory compliance. At least 70% licensee-approved. Tax (financial) advice hours tracked separately when you need them.
At least 1 unit each in ethics, practice management and professional skills. Most states add substantive law, and SA, Tasmania and the NT add more. Pick your state and CPDfolio uses its year and its caps on articles and committee work.
NSW counts hours for your area of practice. Queensland counts sessions, and WA and the ACT count points. Victoria starts in April 2027. CPDfolio uses your state's unit and dates, so a Queensland year starts on your licence anniversary.
A spreadsheet adds up your hours. It won’t show that you’re 4 hours short on risk management, or that 40% of your hours aren’t licensee-approved yet. CPDfolio shows both as you log.
They track it for their own obligations, and their copy covers your time there. You still have to produce your record when asked. When you leave, this is the copy that’s yours.
Then your record was probably in order. CPDfolio keeps it that way: every hour is logged with its certificate as you go, so there’s nothing to dig up later.
Nothing is deleted. Your account goes read-only: you can still see everything you logged and still export your audit pack. You just can’t add new activities until you start again.
In storage we control, reachable only through time-limited links. Nobody else sees your record unless you join a firm on CPDfolio and agree to it. If you leave, the firm keeps a dated snapshot of your time there and sees nothing after.
CPDfolio is new, so there are no customer logos yet. You can check the sample audit pack above, then use it for 14 days without a card. Your record stays readable and exportable even if you stop paying.
14-day trial, then $9 a month or $79 a year. No card needed to start. Cancel any time and your record stays, read-only and still exportable.
Prices are in Australian dollars. Changed plans? Email hello@cpdfolio.com and we’ll talk it through.
