Two of Queensland’s most long-standing public notaries – Richard Hyett and Neil McPherson OAM – passed away last month, leaving a gap in notarial services.
The Society of Notaries of Queensland has also experienced several retirements, so the Society is urging practitioners to consider becoming notaries in order to provide adequate notarial services across the state.
Practitioners will have only one opportunity this year to gain this qualification, with the pre-requisite education program being run in Brisbane in July.
The Office and Practice of a Notary Microcredential is now a prerequisite for all new notaries, and spots in the course are limited.
An initiative by the Society of Notaries Queensland, this microcredential has been developed in partnership with Bond University’s Faculty of Law, and Professor Peter Zablud, author of Principles of Notarial Practice.
Practitioners can register for the 2025 notarial education program at Bond University’s premises in Brisbane on 25-26 July. The enrolment deadline is 13 July.
The registration fee is $2990 and has remained the same as last year. Registrants who complete the program can claim 12 CPD points.
An informal dinner, dubbed the Haig Convention, is held on the Friday night, 25 July.
