Keep your CPD log in a file, and count the hours beside the number the standard states.
For nurses and midwives registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA). Open the CPD spreadsheet you already keep, or start a new log here. The counter adds up the hours in the registration year you set, beside the number the NMBA standard states.
In Chrome or Edge on a computer, every activity you add saves straight into a file on your computer. On other browsers and phones, the log saves as a download. Either way the log prints as a dated page.
Your file is read and saved in your browser. Nothing is sent to ClinicTrace.
Your log file
This browser saves the log by downloading a copy. Save after adding activities, keep the file, and open it here next time. Chrome or Edge on a computer can save into the file automatically instead.
Opens .xlsx and .csv files from Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets, or drop one here. Files are read and saved in this browser, and nothing is sent to ClinicTrace. This browser also keeps a working copy between visits, which clearing browsing data deletes. The saved file stays.
Set the first day of the registration year to count one year. Until then, every activity in the log is counted.

0 activities counted. The standard states other numbers for some registrations, and the counter does not work out which one applies. The source is quoted below.
The printed page is dated and lists what was typed or read here, and nothing more.

The first line is the end of a longer sentence. The standard also states other numbers for nurse practitioners, for nurses and midwives with an endorsement or notation, and for registration as both a nurse and a midwife.
