Special circumstances

Under section 3.3 of the Approval Standards, you may still qualify for re-accreditation if you have been unable to conduct 25 hours due to:

  • lack of work opportunities
  • health or career circumstances
  • residence in a non-urban or culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) community.

To apply under these special circumstances, you will need to:

  1. Provide satisfactory reasons why you have not conducted the required 25 hours.
  2. Have completed 10 hours of mediation, co-mediation or conciliation.
  3. Attend any supplementary training, coaching and/or assessment that the DRB considers necessary, in addition to your 25 continuing professional development (CPD) hours.

If you are unsure whether you qualify, contact us to discuss your circumstances.
