The Supreme Court of Victoria has indefinitely adjourned all in-person applications for admission to the Australian legal profession in light of COVID-19. A new process has been developed to allow admissions to occur ‘on the papers’ by order of the Chief Justice.
This process is only available to applicants who have been granted a compliance certificate and details of the new process will be provided by email after the issuing of your compliance certificate.
