In Tasmania, a legal practitioner must, as a pre-requisite to practising certificate renewal complete at least 10 CPD units of CPD activity in each CPD year (Practice Guideline No. 4 of the Law Society of Tasmania).
The CPD year runs from 1 April to 31 March in the following year.
‘CPD points’ and ‘CPD activity’ are also defined in the Practice Guideline. In most instances, 1 hour of CPD activity = 1 CPD point. Certain hours of activity, including Committee membership and publication authoring, are however treated differently.
Mandatory Categories / Core Competency Areas
The points acquired by a practitioners in a CPD year must include at least:
- one CPD point relating to practical legal ethics;
- one CPD point relating to practice management or business skills;
- one CPD point relating to professional skills; and
- one CPD point relating to substantive law.
