What to know about Lawyers
Australia does not have one legal profession. Each state and territory admits and regulates its own lawyers, and the person you hire holds a practising certificate issued by the body in their jurisdiction. New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia run the Legal Profession Uniform Law scheme, which the Legal Services Council and the Commissioner for Uniform Legal Services Regulation oversee. Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory keep their own schemes built on similar ideas.
