CPD for Registered Psychologists

How CPD Logging Works

Registered psychologists can use Logsage to manage their entire CPD workflow:

• Log CPD Activities: Record workshops, courses, reading, conferences, and other professional development activities
• Create Learning Plans: Plan and track your CPD goals and activities
• Map to Core Competencies: Link activities to Ahpra's 8 core competency areas
• Calculate Pro-Rata Hours: Automatically calculate CPD hours for activities that span multiple CPD periods
• Reflect on Activities: Add reflections to your professional development journal
• Attach Evidence: Upload certificates, notes, or other evidence files
• Track Progress: Monitor your progress toward the 30-hour annual CPD requirement

Learning Plans

Learning plans help you structure and track your CPD activities throughout the year. Each learning plan covers one CPD period (typically December 1 – November 30).

Creating a Learning Plan

At the start of your CPD period, create a new learning plan in Logsage. Add 1–3+ learning goals, each with:

• Learning needs you've identified
• Proposed activities to address those needs
• Planned dates for activities
• Anticipated outcomes
• Review dates

Tracking Progress

As you complete CPD activities, log them as Professional Development entries in Logsage. You can:

• Link your entries to your learning plan goals
• Review and update your goals throughout the year, recording actual outcomes achieved
• Complete an overall reflection at the end of your CPD period

Professional Development Journal

The professional development (PD) journal is a collection of your reflections on each CPD activity you complete. Ahpra requires registered psychologists to maintain a PD journal that demonstrates reflection on their learning.

How It Works in Logsage

When you log a Professional Development entry, you can add a “Reflections” field where you reflect on the activity. Your reflections might include:

• What you learned from the activity
• How it relates to your practice
• How you plan to apply the learning
• Any insights or challenges encountered

All your reflections are stored with your CPD entries.

Exporting Your PD Journal

When you export your CPD logbook (via the Export page), Logsage includes all your reflections from the “Comments” field of each Professional Development entry. This exported document comprises your professional development journal that Ahpra requires.

You can export your PD journal for a specific CPD period, making it easy to submit to Ahpra or keep for your records.
