Family Law Accreditation Advisory Sub-Committee

The Family Law Accreditation Advisory Sub-Committee advises the Law Society’s Council on the rules and regulations that govern the granting of Family Law accreditation by the Law Society.

Accredited family law specialists practising in Western Australia must be members of the Law Society.

The Law Society also actively participates in the Family Law Specialist Accreditation National Steering Committee. This ensures that all States and Territories share information to facilitate a consistent approach to assessment and credentialing. In an assessment year, the National Steering Committee works to promote consistency and uniformity of approach. That has included the Committee working with representatives of the other law societies and institutes to review and settle the assessment tasks and marking guides for assessment.
