Russell Kennedy Pro Bono CPDs for Community Legal Centres      

Due to the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services’ recommendations and guidance on coronavirus disease (COVID-19), our offering for the CPD Day for Community Legal Centres is now an electronic interface event only.

Please click to view the replay recordings to earn CPD points in the following categories: Ethics, Practice Management & Business Skills and Substantive Law.

You will need to enter your contact details to access each video recording - this is for CPD audit requirements.

Please note that there will be further resources added as they become available, however unfortunately we can no longer commit to providing you with one CPD point from each mandatory category. These 2019 presentations may not be counted toward your 2020 CPD requirements if you have not previously viewed them.
