CDU Goes Live with CPP
Charles Darwin University (CDU) has successfully launched Bayshann’s AI-enabled solution for delivering Commonwealth Prac Payments.
The Australian Government’s Commonwealth Prac Payment (CPP) program represents a major step forward in supporting students undertaking mandatory professional placements.
The initiative provides financial assistance to students for unpaid placements , a long standing challenge across many disciplines including healthcare, teaching and social services.
For universities, the program also introduced tight delivery timelines and operational complexity. Institutions needed secure, compliant systems capable of processing student applications quickly while protecting sensitive student data.
CPP Accelerator: A Rapid Implementation at Charles Darwin University
Charles Darwin University (CDU) is among the first universities in Australia to go live with CPP processing, thanks to a collaborative implementation with Bayshann.
CPP Accelerator: Visible Impact at Charles Darwin University
Designed for Speed, Security and Scale
Bayshann’s CPP Accelerator was designed specifically to support universities implementing the Commonwealth Prac Payments program.
The solution enables institutions to rapidly deploy a secure and scalable system while improving both administrative efficiency and the student experience.
Rapid time to market
Accelerator based delivery enabled CDU to move from concept to production in just 12 weeks.
Enterprise grade security
Built on Microsoft’s secure cloud infrastructure deployed within CDU’s own tenancy to ensure full control of student data and identity.
Improved Student Experience
Mobile friendly interfaces allow students to submit applications easily and track progress transparently.
AI-Assisted Application Assessment
AI-supported workflows help reduce manual processing effort while maintaining oversight and governance.
Flexible Configuration
A no code approach allows institutions to tailor workflows to their own operational requirements with minimum development effort.
Operational Sustainability
Clear audibility and streamlined workflows help institutions manage compliance while maintaining cost effectiveness.
A Partner Perspective
Reflecting on the implementation, CDU highlighted both the speed of delivery and the long-term potential of the platform.
Innovation in action at Charles Darwin University!
In partnership with Bayshann, CDU has successfully gone live with a secure, AI-enabled CPP processing solution built on the Microsoft Power Platform. By streamlining workflows in just 12 weeks, this project reduces staff overhead and builds a digital foundation for the future.
As Andrew Tully (CIDO) notes, this innovation is a major win for both staff efficiency and the student experience.
