Document store for locum credentials

Keep every credential a workplace asks for in one drawer: police check, professional indemnity, AHPRA registration, immunisation record and your Working with Children check, with expiry dates tracked for you.

What the document store is for

Before starting at a new workplace, ask its onboarding contact which documents to provide, how current each record needs to be and where to send it. Keep the requested files together so you can check the contents before sharing them. For registration requirements, consult AHPRA or your national board.

Sessional gives you one place to hold them on the Compliance page. Upload a file and enter its expiry date to display a countdown. Expiry reminders depend on your saved dates and email preferences. Sessional does not verify documents or decide whether they meet a workplace’s requirements.

Document categories

Every profession starts with the same nine base categories. Some professions have extra categories. These are filing options, not a list of credentials you must hold.

  • CV: a copy of your CV for reference or sharing.
  • AHPRA registration certificate: a place to file your certificate.
  • Professional indemnity: a place to file your insurance documents.
  • National police check: a place to file your check.
  • Working with Children check: your state clearance where the role requires it. The name differs by state: a WWCC in NSW, VIC and SA, a Blue Card in Queensland, a WWC Check in WA, Registration to Work with Vulnerable People in Tasmania, Working with Vulnerable People in the ACT, and an Ochre Card in the Northern Territory.
  • Immunisation record: a place to file your vaccination records.
  • Right to work: a place to file documents requested for onboarding.
  • Training certificate: a place to file course and training records.
  • Other: anything else you want quick access to, such as references, contracts or an insurance schedule.

Extra category labels include Medicare provider number and BLS / ALS certification for GPs and specialists, Fellowship certificate for specialists, Vaccination certification for pharmacists, NDIS provider registration for psychologists and occupational therapists, Conscious sedation certification for dentists, and Driving licence for paramedics.

Uploading a document

Open Compliance from the dashboard sidebar and select Upload document. For each upload you:

  1. Pick a category from the list for your profession.
  2. Give it a clear title, for example "Avant indemnity 2026" or "NSW WWCC".
  3. Choose the file from your device.
  4. Optionally set an expiry date so Sessional can track it for you.
  5. Add a short note if you want, such as a policy or clearance number.

Accepted formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP and PDF. Maximum size: 10 MB per file.

File validation checks the contents against the supported formats. Renaming a file does not convert it to an accepted format. You can keep multiple files in a category. If you upload too many files in a short time, you may be asked to try again later.

Expiry tracking and reminders

When you set an expiry date, each document carries a badge based on the date you entered:

  • Expiry date: shown when there are more than 90 days remaining.
  • Days remaining: shown when the rounded-up countdown is between 0 and 90 days.
  • Expired: shown when that countdown is below zero, with a count of days ago.

The Compliance page also summarises each category in a progress ring. The expiry reminder check groups documents expiring within the next 30 days into an email digest, with a six-day gap between recorded digests. Already expired documents are excluded. These checks use the dates you entered; check the original document when planning a renewal. Expiry does not delete the file.

Expiry email is governed by your notification preferences: the document expiry reminder is sent only if that category is switched on. The on-screen date badges and category rings do not depend on that email preference.

Finding documents and keeping them safe

As your drawer fills up, search by title keyword, filter by category, or filter to show only what is expiring soon or already expired. Documents are grouped by category with their size, upload date and expiry badge, so a quick scan tells you where you stand.

Select View to open a file. Supported images can display in the browser; PDFs are served as downloads. You can delete a file when you no longer need it. To share selected files on Plus or Pro, use a compliance passport or a locked link with a separate access code.

Which plan includes it

Uploading from the Compliance page requires Plus or Pro. Free accounts can still view existing documents. The CV summary tool can save an uploaded CV on every plan. See billing and plans or compare tiers on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

Can a workplace see the documents I upload?
A workplace cannot browse your document list. On Plus or Pro, you can select files in Share documents and create a quick link or a locked link for the recipient. Check your selection before sharing.
What happens when my indemnity or police check expires on Sessional?
The page shows an Expired badge once its rounded-up day countdown falls below zero. If expiry emails are enabled, the reminder check includes documents due within 30 days, with six days between recorded digests. Already expired documents are excluded. Expiry does not delete files. Upload a renewed version and remove the old one when ready.
My Working with Children check has a different name in my state. Which category do I use?
Use the Working with Children check category whatever your state calls it, whether that is a WWCC, a Queensland Blue Card, a WA WWC Check, a Tasmanian Registration to Work with Vulnerable People, an ACT Working with Vulnerable People card or an NT Ochre Card. Add the state to the title so it is obvious at a glance.
Can I store more than one document in the same category?
Yes. You can hold several documents of the same type, such as multiple training certificates. Use distinct titles to tell them apart. Each file uploaded from Compliance can be up to 10 MB.
What file formats can I upload?
The Compliance upload form accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP and PDF, up to 10 MB each. Validation checks file contents. The separate CV summary tool also accepts Word .docx files.

Stop chasing your own paperwork
