1 CPD Unit  On-demand recording
 

This session was recorded on 14 February 2024 as part of the Important issues for in-house lawyers: Mandatory rule 6.1 - live webinar. 

The fundamentals of workplace investigations in Australia – Paula Hoctor, Principal and Workplace Investigator, QWorkplace Lawyers 

  • This session will focus on the regulatory framework for investigations in Australia. Participants attending this session will:  
  • Gain an insight into the regulation of workplace investigations, including recent developments in legislation and case law;  
  • Understand the fundamentals of a procedurally fair investigation and appropriate confidentiality; and 
  • Be aware of the duty to provide a safe system of work and how in practice, this impacts the conduct of an investigation.  

Practitioners should inform themselves of Rule 6.1 of the Legal Profession Uniform Continuing Professional Development (Solicitors) Rules 2015 which sets out the requirements for the four (4) mandatory CPD areas for NSW legal practitioners – (a) ethics and professional responsibility; (b) practice management and business skills; (c) professional skills; and (d) substantive law. It is the responsibility of each legal practitioner to self-assess as to whether a particular educational activity extends their knowledge and skills in areas that are relevant to their practice needs or professional development. If so, then the practitioner may claim one (1) "unit” for each hour of attendance, refreshment breaks not included.
