About the Piddington Society

Your attendance, engagement and support goes toward funding Piddington's access to justice projects — the Piddington PLT Fund, the Piddington Justice Fund for CLCs, and Kaartdijin, our First Nations Legal Education Fund. We also fund the Christine Wheeler PLT Scholarship and John Chaney Award for new law graduates and law students.

CPD Accreditation

This program is delivered by The Piddington Society, an accredited CPD Provider approved by the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia. Practitioners outside Western Australia must self-assess this activity against the CPD rules in their home jurisdiction. Certificates of completion are issued to assist with record-keeping, but the final decision as to compliance rests with the individual practitioner and their local regulator. Note that some jurisdictions impose caps on certain delivery modes (e.g. South Australia limits 5 units per CPD year for web-based/recorded programs).
