Practising Certificate Renewals 2021-2022 - No renewals will be accepted after today

30/06/2021

The period for practising certificate renewals has commenced and will run until 30 June 2021. No renewals will be accepted after 30 June 2021.

Please note that it is a requirement for the issuing of a practising certificate that Professional Indemnity Insurance be obtained. Unfortunately, the usual confirmation from PII insurers this year has not been consistent and, as the onus ultimately lies on practitioners to provide the Association with confirmation of PII insurance, members who have not had expected confirmation from the Association ought to contact their insurers so that a practising certificate can be issued.

A late fee of $30 or 10% of the relevant practising certificate fee, whichever is the higher, applies where the practising certificate renewal form and/or fee is received after 7 June 2021 and before 1 July 2021. The late fee will not apply if these steps have been taken but professional indemnity insurance has not yet been confirmed by 7 June.
