How to Sign Up for STAT: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals
STAT gives Australian healthcare professionals opportunities to share their expertise, contribute insights to healthcare organisations and earn payment for their time.

Step 3: Select your healthcare profession
Next, choose your primary healthcare profession from the list.
The options shown include medical practitioners, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, physiotherapists, psychologists and several other registered health professions.
Depending on your profession, you may also be asked to select a specialty. Choose the option that accurately reflects your professional registration.
Step 4: Confirm your professional details
Review the summary of your profession and any applicable specialty.
Check that the information is correct before selecting Confirm and continue. If anything needs changing, use the back option to review your selections.
This step helps ensure your professional profile reflects the details associated with your registration.
What can you do once you’re logged in?
All done! You should now have access to the STAT Dashboard.
Once you’ve accessed your account, you’ll find several areas to explore. Here’s what each one is for.
Reflect – CLARA
Reflect on something you’ve learned, including learning completed on Med CPD. CLARA guides you through structured prompts to create a documented reflection in your own words.
Completed reflections are paid through STAT CoPay™.
Share insights
Browse question sessions on topics relevant to your practice. The platform shows the estimated time and payment before you begin, allowing you to decide which opportunities suit you.
Innovators
Explore healthcare organisations and the work they’re doing. You can express interest in organisations that align with your interests and explore paid meeting opportunities.
STAT CoPay™
Access the payment area where your earnings are recorded. Your Wallet Balance holds your fees, while your Giving Balance tracks contributions made by STAT to causes you choose.
You’ll also see Chats, Meetings and My activity, which help you manage conversations, meetings and your activity on the platform.
How do payments and giving work?
STAT pays practitioners for their contributions, with fees set according to the time an activity takes and its fair market value.
A few things to know:
-You choose your activities. You can decide which opportunities interest you and decline those that don’t.
-Your earnings are separate from giving. STAT contributes from its own margin to a verified cause you select. This is tracked in your Giving Balance and is not deducted from your fee.
-An ABN may be required. The launch information states that an ABN is required for some activities and to withdraw earnings. Check the applicable requirements within STAT before proceeding.
The payment displayed for an opportunity can help you decide whether the time commitment suits you before you start.
Does a CLARA reflection count towards my CPD?
CLARA helps you document your learning and reflection, including the key learning, its relevance to your practice and any changes you may make.
However, payment for a reflection does not determine how it is recognised for CPD purposes. Your CPD home or relevant professional board determines how an activity is accepted and categorised.
Keep the resulting documentation with your CPD records and check the requirements that apply to your professional circumstances.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free to join STAT?
Yes. STAT is free to join for AHPRA-verified practitioners. Some activities and withdrawal arrangements may have additional requirements, including an ABN.
Do I have to take part in every opportunity?
No. You choose which question sessions, meetings and other opportunities you want to pursue.
Can I use CLARA with learning completed on Med CPD?
Yes. Through Earn & Learn™, you can choose Reflect on this in the STAT widget after completing learning on Med CPD, then follow CLARA’s prompts.
Will organisations see my personal contact details?
According to the supplied STAT launch information, responses to question sessions are reported in de-identified form, and organisations do not buy practitioners’ contact details. If you choose to connect with an organisation, you control whether you express interest in meeting with them.
Does getting paid mean my activity is automatically CPD-approved?
No. Payment and CPD recognition are separate. Your CPD home or professional board determines how an activity is accepted and categorised.
