the relevant vehicle must be an Eligible Vehicle in accordance with the requirements set out in clause 3. Participation 2.3 The Scheme is governed by an electronic portal and eligible persons may only enrol and participate by accessing the DD Portal. 2.4 To participate, a customer must comply with the requirements set out in clause 4. 2.5 A person’s participation in the Scheme is on-going and starts from when the person successfully completes the

enrolment process as set out in the DD Portal and remains in effect until cancelled in accordance with the MV Act or under clause 6 or clause 7.

2.6 A person’s participation in the Scheme cannot be transferred to another person should a participant’s Nominated Vehicle be sold (or its ownership otherwise transferred) to another person.

Communication 2.7 Whilst participating in the Scheme, a person will not be forwarded an Application for Renewal of Registration nor will

they receive Registration Details Certificates by post in relation to their Nominated Vehicle(s). 2.8 All notices by the Registrar to persons participating in the Scheme will be by E-Notice sent to the person’s nominated e-

mail address and/or via SMS to the person’s nominated Australian mobile phone number. Renewals 2.9 Registrations under this Scheme are for a period of 1 calendar month or for the nominated registration renewal period as

provided in the MV Act.


2.10 Whilst a person is a participant in the Scheme, in respect to their Nominated Vehicle(s): (a) they will be taken to apply on a monthly or periodic basis for the renewal of that Nominated Vehicle; and (b) the Fees for that Nominated Vehicle will be paid by the automated means of direct debit of their Nominated ADI

Account, (with the payment date falling approximately 1 month prior to the particular vehicle’s registration expiry date).

2.11 Receipt in full by the Registrar of the Fees in advance is a requirement for renewal of a vehicle’s registration under the MV Act. A participant cannot suspend or defer a direct debit payment under the Scheme.

Transaction Process & Notifications 2.12 The participant will be sent an E-Notice approximately 1 month and 7 days prior to the date that the registration payment

falls due advising that the debit payment will be attempted in 7 days. 2.13 A direct debit payment from the participant’s Nominated ADI Account will be attempted approximately 1 month prior

to the vehicle’s registration expiry date. 2.14 If the direct debit payment is successful the registration of a participant’s Nominated Vehicle will be renewed and the

participant will be sent an E-Notice advising that the application for renewal of the Nominated Vehicle has been successful and it will detail the new expiry date for the vehicle’s registration.

2.15 If the direct debit payment is unsuccessful for any reason whatsoever: (a) an E Notice will be sent to the participant advising that registration of their Nominated Vehicle was unsuccessful

and that a second debit payment attempt will occur in approximately 3 days. (b) A second direct debit payment from the participant’s Nominated ADI Account will then be attempted within

approximately 3 days of the first attempted direct debit. (c) If the second direct debit payment attempt is successful the registration of a participant’s Nominated Vehicle will

be renewed and the participant will be sent an E-Notice advising that the application for renewal of the Nominated Vehicle has been successful and it will detail the new expiry date for the vehicle’s registration.

(d) If the second direct debit payment attempt is unsuccessful for any reason whatsoever, an E-Notice will be sent advising: (i) that the Nominated Vehicle concerned has been removed from the Scheme and that the participant will

need to make alternative arrangements for the renewal of registration of the vehicle and to contact Service SA for further information.

(ii) This message will be sent at a minimum of approximately 18 days prior to the expiry of the vehicle’s registration.

(iii) An Application for Renewal of Registration will also be generated and sent to the registered owner of the vehicle concerned.

Note: Timeframes set out above are indicated as being approximate to account for months with differing numbers of days and for periods that may fall over a weekend and/or include public holidays (in these cases the timeframe will be extended to fall upon the next available Business Day).

Compliance 2.16 Whilst participating in the Scheme a person must comply with the Scheme, including, but not limited to, the participant

responsibilities set out in clause 5. A person failing to comply with the Scheme may give rise to the consequences set out in clause 8.

Cancellation of Participation 2.17 The Registrar may cancel a person’s participation in the Scheme (either entirely or in respect to a particular Nominated

Vehicle) in the circumstances outlined in clause 6. 2.18 A person may cancel their participation in this Scheme (either entirely or in respect to a particular Nominated Vehicle)

by following the procedure in clause 7. Fees 2.19 Details of the Fees associated with this Scheme are contained in clause 9. Registration Concessions 2.20 This Scheme does not affect the application of any concessions for the renewal of registration of motor vehicles and the

amount of the Fees charged under this Scheme is open for adjustment if the relevant person meets the criteria for concessional registration.

2.21 If a person is a first time concession applicant, the application of the concession must be verified personally at a Service SA Customer Service Centre or via other methods provided by the Registrar and the person will not be eligible for the reduced fees until the verification has been undertaken.

2.22 As with other forms of registration, a participant in the Scheme is only entitled to a concession on application with verification and a claim for back dating to a date when a person was entitled to the concession is not available.

Discretion to Refund Debits in Exceptional Circumstances 2.23 In cases where there has been a direct debit to an ADI Account as a result of an error, such as, for example, a notice of

disposal was not recorded against a registered vehicle and direct debit payments continued to be made, the Registrar may (but is not, in any circumstances, required to) refund the whole or part of the amount so debited (including to avoid doubt cases where a person’s participation in this Scheme has been cancelled after the amount has been so debited).

7.2 The cancellation becomes effective immediately on recording on the Register of Motor Vehicles. 8. CONSEQUENCES OF NON-COMPLIANCE

Cancellation and the need to re-enrol to participate 8.1 If a person fails to comply with the Scheme their participation in the Scheme in relation to the relevant Nominated

Vehicle(s) will be cancelled automatically by the Registrar under clause 6.1 or may be cancelled by the Registrar under clause 6.2. The Registrar will notify the person of the cancellation by E-Notice.

8.2 If participation for a Nominated Vehicle is cancelled, the relevant vehicle is entirely removed from the operation of the Scheme and the person will need to re-enrol if they choose to once again participate in the Scheme with respect to that vehicle.

Registration 8.3 If a person’s participation in the Scheme for a Nominated Vehicle has been cancelled, the vehicle concerned will remain

subject to the requirement to be registered under the MV Act and the person will need to register their vehicle in accordance with the MV Act by alternate means outside of the Scheme.

8.4 Monthly renewals in advance and the timeframes for direct debit payments are set to allow for a minimum of (approximately) 18 days prior to the expiration of a vehicle’s registration so as to afford a person the opportunity to renew the registration of their vehicle in the event their participation in the Scheme in respect to that vehicle is cancelled.

8.5 If a person fails to renew the registration of the vehicle concerned prior to the expiry of the vehicle’s registration period then the vehicle will become unregistered. Continued use of the vehicle is a contravention of the MV Act and other State legislation for which penalties may apply.

Penalties for failure to notify Registrar 8.6 Subsection 24A(8) of the MV Act provides:

24A(8) A person who is a participant in the periodic payment scheme in respect of a particular motor vehicle must, in accordance with the scheme, notify the Registrar of any change in— (a) the person's personal particulars or circumstances that may affect an amount to be paid in respect of the

registration of the motor vehicle; or (b) such other information or circumstances as may be specified under the scheme for the purposes of this

subsection. Maximum penalty: $1 250

8.7 For the purposes of subsection 24A(8)(b) of the MV Act the following information or circumstances are specified (and a person who is a participant in the Scheme must notify the Registrar of any change in): (i) the person’s contact details (either a participant’s e-mail address or Australian mobile phone number) as nominated

for the purposes of an E-Notice within 14 days. 9. FEES

9.1 Each direct debit transaction attracts the regulated Administration Fee. 9.2 Failed direct debit transactions may also attract a dishonour fee from the participant’s ADI. 9.3 An amount paid by the use of direct debit is a transaction that is subject to the provisions of section 138B of the MV

Act. For the avoidance of doubt if the Registrar is required to repay the amount paid by direct debit, the transaction in



relation to the payment that was purportedly made will be taken to be, and to always have been, void and of no effect and the Registrar may, for example, pursuant to s. 138B(7)(b) of the MV Act refuse to enter into any further transaction with the person unless they pay to the Registrar the amount that was payable in respect of the void transaction, or such proportion of that amount as the Registrar thinks fit, and the prescribed charges.

9.4 The registration renewal and administration fees for the Scheme, plus other payments required at the same time, are the fees applicable as at the commencement date of the new period of registration, and are detailed as follows:

Fees (If Applicable) Method of Calculation Registration As set out in the Motor Vehicles Regulations 2010 or Motor Vehicles

(National Heavy Vehicles Registration Fees) Regulations 2008 Administration fee As set out in the Motor Vehicles Regulations 2010 Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Insurance Premium

Or for monthly payments: 1/3 rd of the amount of the levy for 3 months registration

10. PROCEDURE FOR SUSPECTED DEBIT ERRORS 10.1 If a participant believes there has been an error in debiting their Nominated ADI Account, the participant should notify

Service SA directly by telephone on 13 10 84 and confirm that notice by email at [email protected] as soon as possible. 10.2 A participant may also refer instances of suspected error(s) in debit(s) to their ADI. The ADI may, in turn, obtain details

from the participant of the debit(s) in dispute and lodge a claim on the participant’s behalf. 10.3 If the Registrar is satisfied that a participant’s Nominated ADI Account has been incorrectly debited, the Registrar will

arrange for the Nominated ADI Account to be reimbursed with the incorrectly debited amount. In such cases the Registrar will notify the participant in writing of the amount by which the Nominated ADI Account has been adjusted.

10.4 If the Registrar concludes that a participant’s Nominated ADI Account has been correctly debited, the Registrar will provide the participant with reasons and any evidence for this finding.

(m) to promote, conduct or cooperate in the promotion or conduct of activities of a professional, educational, cultural, sporting and social nature amongst Members of the Association.

Nature of the Scheme D. The Bar Association of Queensland Professional Standards Scheme (“the Scheme”) is a scheme under the Professional Standards

Act 2004 (Qld) (“the PS Act”) that applies to the persons referred to below in clause 2. E. The Scheme does not apply to all members of the Association. Article 4.1 of the Bar Association of Queensland Constitution

provides for four types of membership: Ordinary Member - Class A, Class B or Class C; Associate Member; Honorary Member; or Life Member. The Constitution provides that a person, who agrees before admission to membership to undertake to abide by the Constitution and Rules of the Association, may be admitted as an Ordinary Member: (a) in Class A for any local practising barrister;


(b) in Class B for any person who holds a practising certificate issued by the Association who is not a local practising barrister; or (c) in Class C, being an interstate practising barrister. Article 4.8 of the Constitution provides that Life Members are members or former members of the Association appointed for exceptional service to justice, the law or the Association upon nomination by the President, seconded by the Vice-President and approved by no less than three-quarters majority of a general meeting. A Life Member may also belong to another class of membership. The Scheme will only apply to Class A Ordinary members and Life Members.

F. The approximate number of members of the Association to whom the Scheme might apply at its commencement is 955. G. The Scheme is intended to operate under the PS Act, which has the purpose of improving the occupational standards of

professional persons, and to protect the consumers of their services. H. The Scheme limits the occupational liability of a person to whom it applies. I. The occupational liability limited by the Scheme is that provided for by the PS Act, which at present in Queensland is all civil

liability for damages (in tort, contract, or otherwise) in relation to a cause of action founded on an act or omission of a person to whom the Scheme applies acting in the performance of the person’s occupation, being barristers’ work as defined in the Barristers’ Conduct Rules issued by the Association pursuant to s 220 of the LP Act, that happens when the Scheme is in force.

J. The Scheme does not apply to any liability to which the PS Act does not apply from time to time, which at present is any liability for damages arising from death or personal injury to a person, any negligence or other fault of a lawyer in acting for a client in a personal injury claim, a breach of trust, fraud or dishonesty or liability that may be the subject of proceedings under the Land Title Act 1994 (Qld), part 9, division 2, subdivision C.

K. The Scheme does not affect any claim for damages below the monetary ceiling specified in the Scheme for each member. L. The Scheme limits liability for damages above the monetary ceiling specified for a person to whom it applies provided that the

person has insurance as required by s 22 of the PS Act. Risk Management

M. The Association has adopted strategies which cover requirements for professional entry to practice at the Bar in Queensland, and continuing professional development in the areas of ethics and regulation of the profession management, substantive law, court practice and procedure, and evidence, and advocacy, mediation and other barristers’ skills, including making rules about legal practice in this jurisdiction engaged in by an Australian legal practitioner as a barrister. The Association has provided the Professional Standards Councils with a detailed list of the risk management strategies intended to be implemented in respect of its members and the means by which those strategies are intended to be implemented.

N. The Association will report annually on the implementation and monitoring of its risk management strategies, the effect of those strategies and any changes made or proposed to be made to them.

Complaints and discipline O. Association members are subject to a complaints and discipline system. The system operates pursuant to the requirements of the

LP Act. P. The Association is actively engaged in that system, and has the functions of investigation and of making a recommendation as to

whether a discipline application should be started when a complaint is referred to the Association by the Legal Services Commissioner. Standards of Insurance

Q. Members of the Association are required by the LP Act and regulations made under it, as a condition precedent to the issue of a required annual practising certificate, to have professional indemnity insurance: (a) for at least $1.5m inclusive of defence costs; and (b) provided by an insurer approved by the Association.

R. The Association annually approves insurers for that purpose to provide annual insurance cover on the terms of particular standard form policies.

S. The standard form policies cover occupational liability in all Australian States and Territories. Claims Monitoring

T. As a condition of approval of an insurer each year, the Association requires that the insurer provide claims data to the Association, so that the Association can continue to monitor claims made against its members from time to time.

U. The Association will establish or maintain relationships with approved insurers from time to time. V. The Association will report annually to the Professional Standards Councils on claims monitoring, tactics, performance measures

and monitoring systems. Scheme Administration

W. Responsibility for administration of the Scheme and ensuring that it complies with the requirements of the PS Act and of the Professional Standards Councils rests with the Association.

Duration X. The Scheme will remain in force for a period of 5 years from its commencement unless it is revoked, extended or ceases in

accordance with section 33 of the PS Act. Operation as an Interstate Scheme

Y. The Scheme is intended to operate in every Australian State and Territory in accordance with the corresponding law to the PS Act of that jurisdiction and subject to the requirements of the corresponding law, so that references to a provision of the PS Act, the application of the Scheme to a liability, the limit of a liability under the PS Act or what constitutes occupational liability are intended to pick up the relevant provisions of the corresponding law, applied mutatis mutandis, to the extent that is necessary for the application of the Scheme in that jurisdiction as an interstate scheme.

THE BAR ASSOCIATION OF QUEENSLAND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS SCHEME 1. Occupational association

1.1 The Bar Association of Queensland Professional Standards Scheme (“the Scheme”) is a scheme under the PS Act.


1.2 The Scheme was prepared by the Association, whose business address is: Ground Floor, Inns of Court, 107 North Quay, Brisbane, Queensland. 4000.

1.3 A reference in this Scheme to the PS Act or its provisions includes, where the Scheme operates in a jurisdiction other than Queensland, a reference to the corresponding legislation in that jurisdiction and, where applicable, its equivalent provisions.

2. Persons to Whom the Scheme Applies 2.1 The Scheme applies to any barrister who holds a Queensland practising certificate issued under the LP Act, is a Class A

Ordinary member or a Life member of the Association and is insured under an approved professional indemnity insurance policy which complies with the requirements under the LP Act and regulations made under it (or any Act replacing those requirements) and clause 3.1 below.

2.2 This Scheme also applies to any person to whom it applies by the operation of ss 20, 21 or 21A of the PS Act. 2.3 The Scheme limits the occupational liability, in relation to a cause of action founded on an act or omission that happens

when the Scheme is in force, of any person to whom the Scheme applies when the act or omission happens. 2.4 The Association may, upon application by a person to whom the Scheme applies, exempt that person from participation in

the Scheme with effect from a date specified by the Bar on or after the date on which the exemption is granted. 2.5 The Association may, upon application by a person exempted from the Scheme under clause 2.4, revoke such exemption

with effect from a date specified by the Bar. 3. Limitation of Liability

3.1 If a person to whom this Scheme applies and against whom a cause of action relating to occupational liability is brought is able to satisfy the Court that: (a) the person has the benefit of an insurance policy insuring the person against the occupational liability; and (b) the amount payable under the insurance policy in relation to the occupational liability is at least the amount of the

monetary ceiling specified in clause 3.8 in relation to the class of person and the kind of work to which the cause of action relates;

the person is not liable in damages in relation to that cause of action above the amount of that monetary ceiling. For the purposes of s 27 of the PS Act, the Scheme only affects a liability for damages arising from a single cause of action to the extent that the liability results in damages exceeding $1,500,000.

3.2 For the operation of this Scheme in Queensland or in a jurisdiction other than Queensland pursuant to the PS Act, “occupational liability” in this Scheme means any civil liability arising whether in tort, contract or otherwise, directly or vicariously from anything done or omitted by a member of the Association acting in the performance of the member’s occupation, being barristers’ work as defined in the Barristers’ Conduct Rules issued by the Association pursuant to s 220 of the LP Act, and any other liability included in the meaning of “occupational liability” under the PS Act from time to time.

3.3 For the operation of this Scheme in a jurisdiction other than Queensland under a corresponding law of that jurisdiction, “occupational liability” means any liability included in the meaning of “occupational liability” in the corresponding law which is in force in that jurisdiction from time to time.

3.4 The occupational liability for which a person is not liable above the amount of the monetary ceiling is an occupational liability in relation to a cause of action founded on an act or omission that happens when the Scheme is in force in a jurisdiction to which the Scheme applies.

3.5 Notwithstanding clause 3.1, for the operation of this Scheme in Queensland or in a jurisdiction other than Queensland pursuant to the PS Act the occupational liability to which this Scheme applies does not include liability to which the PS Act states, from time to time, that it does not apply.

3.6 Notwithstanding clause 3.1, for the operation of this Scheme in a jurisdiction other than Queensland under a corresponding law of that jurisdiction the occupational liability to which this Scheme applies does not include liability to which the corresponding law states, from time to time, that it does not apply.

3.7 The Scheme is intended to apply in respect of occupational liability of a person to whom the Scheme applies arising in the jurisdictions of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, the Australian Capital Territory, the Northern Territory and Tasmania.

3.8 The monetary ceiling is $1,500,000. 3.9 The monetary ceiling is in Australian currency. 3.10 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Scheme, if in particular circumstances giving rise to

occupational liability, the liability of any person who is subject to the Scheme should be capped both by this Scheme and also by any other scheme under Professional Standards Legislation (whether of this jurisdiction or under the law of any other Australian state or territory) and, if the amount of such caps should differ, then the cap on the liability of such person arising from such circumstances which is higher shall be the applicable cap.

4. Conferral of discretionary authority 4.1 The Scheme confers on the Association a discretionary authority, on application by a person to whom the Scheme applies,

to specify a higher maximum amount of liability than would otherwise apply under the Scheme in relation to the person, either in all cases or in any specified case or class of case, being a specified monetary ceiling not exceeding $50 million.

5. Duration 5.1 In Queensland the Scheme will commence:

(a) on 1 July 2019, if the Minister gives notice of the approval of the Scheme prior to that date; or (b) two months after the day the notice is notified, in any other case.

5.2 In New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Tasmania and Western Australia, the Scheme will commence: (a) on 1 July 2019, if the Scheme is published in the Government Gazette of the jurisdiction prior to that date; or (b) on the day immediately following the date of the Scheme’s publication in the Government Gazette of the

jurisdiction, in any other case. 5.3 In the Australian Capital Territory and in South Australia, the Scheme will commence:

(a) on the date provided for in the Minister’s notice in relation to the Scheme, if a date is provided; or


(b) on the first day two months after the day on which notice was given, in any other case. 5.4 In Victoria, this Scheme will commence:

(a) on 1 July 2019, if the Scheme is published in the Government Gazette at least two months prior; or (b) on the first day two months after the Scheme is published in the Government Gazette, in any other case.

5.5 The Scheme will remain in force in Queensland for a period of 5 years from its commencement unless it is revoked, extended or ceases in accordance with s 33 of the PS Act.

5.6 Subject to s 33 of the PS Act, the Scheme will remain in force in each other jurisdiction for a period of five years from its commencement unless it is extended, terminated or otherwise ceases in accordance with the corresponding law of the relevant jurisdiction.
