CPD recording
without the $600+ membership.

Yes — absolutely! DispenseCPD makes it easy to meet the Board's CPD recording requirements as outlined on their website, including your Group breakdown, activity details, and development plan. That said, meeting your CPD obligations is ultimately your responsibility as a registered pharmacist, and we'd encourage you to review the Board's current requirements each CPD year to make sure you're on track.

Most pharmacy association memberships bundle a CPD tool into a $600+ per year package. DispenseCPD gives you everything you need — activity logging, development planning, and PDF export — for just $19/yr. No conferences, magazines, or events you never attend. Just the CPD tool, at a fraction of the cost.

Sign up instantly — no credit card required. The free plan lets you log up to 3 CPD activities and create 1 CPD development plan. It's a genuine trial of the full experience, not a limited demo. When you're ready, upgrade for $19/yr (introductory offer until 30 Sep 2026) to unlock unlimited logging, PDF export, and multi-year records.

Your data stays safely stored in your account and won't be deleted. If you choose not to renew, you'll revert to the free plan — but PDF export requires an active subscription. If you're ever audited after your subscription lapses, you'll need to renew first before you can export. We recommend exporting your record before it lapses so you always have a copy on hand.

No. DispenseCPD is completely independent. You don't need to be a member of any pharmacy organisation to sign up or use the app. It was built specifically for pharmacists who want a simple, affordable CPD tool without a $600+ membership fee.

For most Australian health professionals, the cost of maintaining professional registration — including tools that help you meet CPD requirements — is tax deductible as a work-related expense. As pharmacists are legally required to complete CPD to maintain registration, DispenseCPD would generally fall into this category. Tax outcomes depend on your individual circumstances. Always consult your accountant, tax adviser or the ATO for personalised advice.

Not at the moment, but it's something we're looking at for the future. In the meantime, DispenseCPD works great on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop — and performs functionally the same as a native app. You can also add a shortcut to your phone's home screen for quick access: on iPhone, tap the Share button in Safari and select "Add to Home Screen"; on Android, tap the menu in Chrome and select "Add to Home Screen".

Yes. Your data is stored securely and is only visible to you. DispenseCPD uses industry-standard encryption and Firebase cloud infrastructure. We do not share your data with any third parties, pharmacy boards, or regulators.
