CPD
Claiming CPD for practitioners in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, New South Wales and Queensland: CPD is self-assessed – practitioners determine whether they can claim units for a particular activity based on their own circumstances.
If the conference sessions are relevant to your immediate or long term needs in relation to your professional development and practice of the law, then you may be able to claim one CPD unit for each hour of attendance, refreshment breaks not included. CPD limits may apply to recorded sessions.
For practitioners in WA, CLAANZ is not presently a WA accredited QA provider, so CPD points cannot be claimed at this stage.
