Certificate of Fitness

A certificate of fitness and good standing is an official document detailing your admission, your practising certificate history, any disciplinary matters brought against you in Queensland, and whether or not you are considered to be a fit and proper person to practice law.

Most law societies, both in Australia and abroad, will require a certificate of fitness before granting you a practising certificate. Please be advised that most jurisdictions will not accept a certificate of fitness that is more than 30 days old. Always check with the relevant body before requesting a certificate of fitness in advance.

A certificate of fitness costs $210.00 (incl. GST). This document is normally issued within 10 working days from lodgement of application (please note, processing may take longer during peak period times).
