Staying compliant with your CPD obligations in NSW is one thing—but proving it during an audit is another. If your current system involves a “Miscellaneous” folder on your desktop or a stack of printed certificates in a desk drawer, it’s time for a more professional approach.
Here is a deep dive into LogCPD, the digital tool designed to make you audit-ready.
The Audit Reality: Can You Prove Your 10 Units?
The Law Society of NSW and the NSW Bar Association conduct random audits every year. To be compliant, you must retain your records for at least three years.
If you are audited, you need to produce:
The date and description of each activity.
The provider of the activity.
The number of units and the specific mandatory category satisfied.
Evidence of completion (certificates, receipts, or attendance logs).
What is LogCPD?
LogCPD is a centralised tracking tool included with every CPD for Me account. It’s more than just a list; it’s a compliance engine that does the heavy lifting for you.
1. Automatic Logging
When you complete a webinar or watch an on-demand session on the CPD for Me platform, the units are automatically credited to your LogCPD profile.
2. Manual Entry for External Units
We know you might attend an industry or supplier event or write a legal article etc…… LogCPD allows you to manually add units from any provider.
This means you can have a single, unified record of your entire 10-unit requirement in one place.
3. Smart Categorization
LogCPD tracks which of the four mandatory fields you have satisfied:
Ethics and Professional Responsibility
Practice Management and Business Skills
Professional Skills
Substantive Law
The dashboard gives you a “at-a-glance” view of what you’ve completed from 1st April to March 31st each year.
4. 7-Year Secure Storage
While the Law Society requires three years of records, LogCPD saves your data for up to seven years. This provides a massive safety net should any historical compliance questions arise.
Download Your “Completion Statement” in One Click
The standout feature of LogCPD is the Downloadable Completion Statement. Instead of sending an auditor 10 different PDFs, you can generate a single, professional document that lists every unit, every category, and every date. You simply print, sign, and you’re done.
