Upcoming training and events
November Sector Session: Record Keeping in the Privacy Era
As clients increasingly exercise their rights to access personal information held about them under the federal Privacy Act 1988, community legal centres need to rethink how they approach file notes and client records.
This practical session explores the implications of privacy access requests for day-to-day record keeping and provides guidance on writing file notes that are factual, objective, professional and fit for disclosure.
Is your centre ready to hand over everything to your clients on request? If not, this session will help you identify the risks and adopt better file-note practices for a more transparent privacy era.
When: Tuesday, 3 November 2026, 1pm - 2pm
Where: Online via Microsoft Teams
Registration: Register for the November session here.
Quarterly network meetings
We also have 22 sector networks that cover a range of topics and meet quarterly in February, May, September and November each year. Join a network to share knowledge and experiences, provide peer support in complex areas, hear from guest presenters, coordinate advocacy, and develop joint strategies for improving clients' experiences of the justice system. Find the network meeting schedule here.
