2026 Early Career CPD Afternoon
Friday 2 October 2026 | Pullman Brisbane King George Square
FLPA invites our early career practitioners to join us for an afternoon of practical professional development designed specifically for those building their careers in family law.
Following the success of our 2025 Early Career CPD Afternoon, we are bringing the event back for 2026 with another program focused on the practical skills, knowledge and insights that early career practitioners can take directly into their day-to-day practice.
Join us at the Pullman Brisbane King George Square on Friday, 2 October 2026 for an afternoon of learning from experienced members of the family law profession, with opportunities to ask questions, develop practical skills and connect with other practitioners at a similar stage of their careers. Lunch and afternoon tea will be provided as part of the program.
Your registration also includes complimentary entry to the 2026 FLPA Social Mixer at Sixteen Antlers immediately following the CPD program, where the wider profession will join us for drinks, canapés and networking from 5.30pm.
