AALA & ILAQ Indigenous cultural awareness training seminar

Asian Australian Lawyers Association Queensland (AALA) and Indigenous Lawyers Association of Queensland (ILAQ) warmly invites you to attend its inaugural cultural awareness training seminar where a panel of esteemed and experienced Indigenous lawyers will be providing an introduction into Indigenous cultural awareness issues aimed at legal professionals.

ILAQ and AALA are committed to advancing cultural and linguistic diversity in the legal profession.  This is a rare opportunity for those working in the law to gain an insight into Indigenous cultural diversity and from a general, historical, and social perspective which can be used to improve their own practices and gain better outcomes for Indigenous clients.

The event is open and free to AALA and ILAQ members. We are also pleased to invite non-member guests (practitioners and students) to attend this event for a nominal fee. Registrations are essential as spaces are limited.

For further details please contact Reimen on (07) 3106 3815 or rhii@qldbar.asn.au.
