Accuracy over marketing
Course descriptions say what is covered and nothing more. We make no promises about outcomes and never imply that a regulator requires a course when it does not.
About us

The aim is straightforward: accurate, practical learning on ethics and professionalism that helps on an ordinary working day and steadies you on a difficult one.

- Clear about what education can and cannot do
Who we are
Courses for every registered profession in Australia
The Australian catalogue is written for every one of the 16 registered professions, medicine and nursing through to paramedicine, psychology and Chinese medicine. Professions whose Boards publish their own expectations each get a pair of core courses, one on ethics and one on professionalism, and a broad set of shared courses sits alongside them for everyone.
Practitioners come to us at different moments: planning routine CPD, getting ready to renew, or dealing with a complaint, a notification, conditions or an undertaking. Programs bundle related courses for those moments, and a free 15-minute course on notifications is open to anyone.
Our independence
Independent education provider; not affiliated with or endorsed by Ahpra, any National Board or any regulator. We never describe a course as recognised or signed off by a regulator, and we do not award points or credits. Our courses are CPD-aligned, and each ends with a certificate of completion stating the estimated learning time; record the time you actually spend.
Editorial approach
How the courses are written
Our editorial team researches, writes and checks every course. These are the steps behind each one.
Work from the source documents
Board codes, registration standards and guidelines, the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law, and guidance from Ahpra, the Boards and national bodies such as the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care.
Write for real practice
Lessons follow Australian settings and use plain English, so principles land on the choices people really face at work.
Point to the originals
Each course names the official documents it relies on, so you can check the wording at the source.
Check every figure
Numbers and regulatory statements must trace back to an official publication, or they do not appear.
Keep courses current
When a Board updates a code or standard, the affected lessons are revisited. Spotted a mistake? Tell [email protected] and it will be checked and corrected.
What we stand for
The principles behind the courses
Calm and practical
Many learners are under real pressure. Courses explain processes clearly and point people to proper professional advice.
Specific where it matters
Codes differ between professions, so each profession has its own core courses rather than a template with the name changed.
Assessments that mean something
Quiz answers are written to similar length and plausibility, so passing reflects having actually done the course.
What a certificate means
Clear about what you receive
Finishing a course gives you a certificate of completion stating the estimated learning time, together with your name, the course title and the date. What counts towards your CPD is set by your Board's standard; doctors log CPD with their CPD home. Where a course is used in a regulatory process, it is the decision-maker who weighs it. Learning helps most when it addresses the actual concern and leads to honest reflection and real change.

About Probity Courses
Do you also run courses outside Australia?
Yes. Probity Courses also offers courses for practitioners in Ireland. The Australian section is written for the Australian National Scheme.
Who writes the courses?
Our own editorial team, drawing on the National Law, official regulatory guidance and each Board's codes, standards and guidelines.
How do you keep courses up to date?
Whenever a Board issues a new code, standard or guideline we review the lessons that depend on it, and reported errors are fixed promptly.
Has a regulator signed off your courses?
No, and we do not claim that. Courses are CPD-aligned and built on the National Board codes and standards.
Do you give legal advice?
No. If you need advice about a notification or a Board decision, your indemnity insurer or a health law specialist is the right person to ask.
Which professions do you cover?
All 16 registered health professions in Australia.
How can I report an error?
Email [email protected], naming the course and the problem. Each report is checked against the source document.
