CPD Year Ending 31 March 2020

30/03/2020

Applying for an extension of time to complete the CPD requirements

The Association encourages practitioners to make use of CPD Online to meet their CPD obligations prior to the CPD year ending 31 March 2020. There is no limit to the number of points that can be accrued through the private study of audio-visual material. To further assist members in completing there CPD points, the Association has prepared a ‘companion guide’ information packet with links to a small sample of recent online CPD sessions.

That being said, the Association understands this is an incredibly difficult time for many practitioners. Those who are unable to comply with their CPD requirements by 31 March for any reason can seek an extension of time from the NSW Bar Association.

An exemption, in whole or in part, from the requirement to complete CPD activity by 31 March may also be sought in exceptional circumstances as set out in Rule 13 of the Legal Profession Uniform Continuing Professional Development (Barristers) Rules 2015.

An exemption, reduction or extension must be sought in writing and directed to the Director, Professional Development, Bali Kaur at bkaur@nswbar.asn.au.
