CPD Management Platform for Optometrists

Australian optometrists are required by the Optometry Board of Australia to complete 20–30 hours of CPD every year, with mandatory minimums in interactive and therapeutic categories. Most were tracking this in spreadsheets, email folders, or paper records — fragmented, difficult to audit, and easy to fall behind on without realising it until November was approaching.

The existing options were either membership-tied platforms bundled into association fees, or manual record-keeping with no smart tracking. Independent optometrists and small practices had no affordable, purpose-built tool to log activities, maintain a learning plan, and generate the audit pack the board actually expects — all in one place.

A subscription SaaS platform purpose-built for OBA compliance. Optometrists log CPD activities with full detail — name, date, duration, type (Interactive, Therapeutic, Non-clinical), personal reflection, and evidence files. The platform tracks progress against the board's exact requirements in real time, showing exactly how many hours have been completed in each mandatory category and flagging any gaps before they become a problem.

Learning plans sit alongside the activity log — optometrists set professional development goals, track their planned activities, and record reflections on completion. When it's time to submit or face an audit, every activity, reflection, and piece of evidence exports as a compliant audit pack in one step. Stripe handles subscriptions, AWS Cognito handles secure login, and the whole platform runs on AWS serverless infrastructure.
