The Professional Licence Renewal Checklist

Track professional registrations, CPD/continuing education hours, and membership renewals. Never miss a licence renewal deadline that could put your career on hold.

Professional Licences Have Hard Deadlines — and Hard Penalties

Trade licences, medical registrations, teaching accreditation, and legal practising certificates all have annual or biennial renewal deadlines. Miss one and you can't legally work. CPD hours are even easier to forget — tracking them last-minute is stressful and expensive.

  • Practising certificate expired — can't work
  • CPD hours incomplete at renewal time
  • Professional membership lapsed — lost benefits
  • Can't remember when registration expires
  • Multiple licences with different renewal cycles
  • Last-minute rush to complete CPD courses

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about professional licence renewals and CPD

How often do professional licences need renewing?

It varies by profession and state. Medical registration (AHPRA) is annual. Legal practising certificates are annual. Trade licences are typically 1-3 years. Teaching accreditation is 1-5 years. Check with your registering authority for exact cycles.

How many CPD hours do I need?

It varies: doctors (50hrs/3years), lawyers (10 CPD points/year), accountants (120hrs/3years), engineers (150hrs/3years), teachers (100hrs/5years). Check your profession's specific requirements and category splits.

Can I carry over CPD hours?

Some professions allow carrying over excess hours to the next period (typically up to 50% of the requirement). Others don't. Check your profession's CPD policy. Life Admin AI can track your hours throughout the year so you never need to scramble.
