The objectives of this Part are—

(a) to provide a system for the grant and renewal of Australian practising certificates in this jurisdiction to eligible and suitable persons who are already admitted to the Australian legal profession in any jurisdiction; and

(b) to facilitate the national practice of law by ensuring that the holders of Australian practising certificates can engage in legal practice in this jurisdiction regardless of their home jurisdiction.

Note

The grant of practising certificates to New Zealand lawyers and their entitlement to practise in this jurisdiction are effected by the operation of the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997 of the Commonwealth.
