If you would like to apply for one of our panels or lists, you should read the sections on application and member duties. Legal practitioners who meet individual requirements to handle legally supported cases within the Crime, Delinquency, Care and Protection Committees, and/or Independent Child Advocates must complete 5 CPD units each year. Upon completion of the Phase 2 workshop training, the practitioner will be identified as eligible to participate in the Phase 3 Nuts and Bolts training and invited by Legal Aid NSW to register for the annual one-day training. The date of the next nut and bolt training has not yet been announced, but it will likely take place in February or March of each year. Non-NSW practitioners working in companies wishing to become members of the NSW ICL Panel must also complete Nuts and Bolts training and contact Legal Aid NSW to register for the next annual Nuts and Bolts course. Questions about ICL training requirements can be emailed to iclwebsite@legalaid.nsw.gov.au. Before you can do paid work for a legal aid client, you must first be authorized by Legal Aid Ontario (LAO) to provide legal aid services in a specific province or territory where you primarily practice law (if you practice in more than one city, you must choose a region as your home base). We have established private medical panels under sections 29 and 30 of the Legal Aid Act 1978external link, each covering a different category of issues. The Director/Director-designate of a law firm may appoint lawyers (who hold a current Australian Certificate of Practice) to the law firm on the single application form if they meet the individual panel requirements for the appointed panels.

Due to the way our committees operate, it is not always possible to obtain the consent of a guardian before an information session is accepted. A breach of the Readers` Terms and Conditions would amount to a breach of the NSW Legal Aid Service Agreement. *For inquiries about the workshop, including future dates, please contact carechildrepresentation@legalaid.nsw.gov.au.

These restrictions apply to readers who wish to request an appointment at one of the following directly accessible panels: Summary Crimes, Crimes Against Children, Mental Health, Family Violence or Care and Protection. The private physicians on our committees and lists must have the necessary experience in this area. All members of our boards and lists are bound by our professional standards as they provide legal services on our behalf as part of a grant. Legal Aid WA investigates and monitors compliance with these standards in order to maintain the quality of the legal services we fund. Some panels require potential individual certifiers to undergo training before they can be accepted into the panel. The list request is a single form that can only be submitted by the client/designated director of a law firm or lawyer. This application form must be submitted on behalf of all legal practitioners who provide legal aid. These rules are intended to provide assurance to the public that legal aid recipients will be represented by the practitioners best suited to their particular case. This is particularly important when the issues are inherently complex, require specialisation or involve a significant amount of VA funding for legal aid.

Individual practitioners who sit on the Independent Panel of Children, Child Protection or Family Law Lawyers are automatically entitled to certify status on the Panel of Domestic Violence Lawyers. If you are applying to one of these organizations, you do not need to submit a separate application form for the Family Violence Committee. Members of the Independent Panel of Children`s Lawyers may act as independent advocates for children if VLA has provided legal advice for this purpose. Join this webinar to learn more about: the types of legal services survivors of human trafficking need; How can we determine when civil or criminal clients may be victims of human trafficking? effective models of collaboration with law enforcement while maintaining a victim-centred approach; and the possibility of working with the Civil Rights Division to combat human trafficking. Practitioner Lists are lists of lawyers authorized to provide legal assistance to clients in family law, criminal law or child protection. Under the Legal Aid Commission Act 1976, we can decide whether or not legal services are to be provided by a private doctor or one of our staff practitioners. Where an allowance is granted to a general practitioner, the allowance must be registered with the competent committee or in the list of professionals competent in the matter. To represent legal aid clients, lawyers must apply to join one (or more) of Legal Aid Ontario`s rosters: Lawyers representing legal aid clients must be authorized to provide services in the jurisdiction(s) they practice. The standards for each area provide the minimum experience and professional development requirements that lawyers must meet. The standards help ensure that legal aid clients receive high-quality services.

Our referral committee was established under section 30 of the Legal Aid Act 1978 External link and is used to refer matters that are not covered by any of the specialist bodies, such as civil cases. All legal practitioners should read and consider Legal Aid NSW`s quality standards before applying for appointment to Legal Aid NSW panels. This document applies to all in-house and private legal aid lawyers and provides clarification on the quality of legal services that Legal Aid NSW expects when performing legal aid work. With the appointment, quality standards are part of the law firm`s obligations under the service contract. The individual status of certifier is linked to the person. If an individual certifier changes companies, they can continue to certify grants as long as the new company is registered as a member of our boards.
