We publish a notification of a scheme whenever an association applies for a new Professional Standards Scheme, or asks to amend its existing one. This would also occur in the unusual event that revocation of a scheme is proposed.
Members of the public then have up to four weeks to submit comments to the Professional Standards Councils. Any comments received are considered by the Councils before they decide whether to approve, amend, or revoke the scheme.
The proposed Law Institute of Victoria Limited Professional Standards Scheme and South Australian Bar Association Professional Standards Scheme was notified in the press on Wednesday 8 December 2021. The Professional Standards Councils has invited comments and submissions in relation to the proposed Schemes from interested stakeholders, until Wednesday 5 January 2022.
