A legal CPD co-presented with the ASU and The Women's Lawyers' Association of SA
We’re proud to work with the Australian Services Union (ASU) and The Women Lawyers’ Association of SA to co-present a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) session on sexual harassment prevention in the legal profession.
In 2021 the Equal Opportunity Commission conducted a review of harassment in the South Australian legal profession and found high levels of sexual harassment. The report found that 33% of legal practitioners had been sexually harassed at work, with 83% harassed on multiple occasions.
That report recommended changes to the CPD scheme and now requires all practitioners to undertake a mandatory CPD unit this compliance year, covering bullying and harassment.
