Training courses

AGS offers courses in administrative law, constitutional law, Commonwealth financial framework, freedom of information, government law (including advice writing, Code of Conduct, delegations and authorisations, machinery of government, understanding legislation), government contracting, privacy and other relevant topics. These sessions are designed to help government employees acquire the legal knowledge and skills they need to do their jobs efficiently.

All presenters are AGS lawyers who have a great depth of knowledge of the government environment, and who practise extensively in the area of law covered by a particular session. They illuminate important principles with real-world examples, encourage active discussion of the issues and lead participants through practical problem-solving exercises.

The courses are run as informally and interactively as possible and, where relevant, meet professional continuing legal education obligations.

Course manuals include up-to-date and comprehensive overviews of the relevant topic and applicable law. Participants also receive relevant source materials, exercises, model answers and pertinent extracts from legislation.

When clients have special requirements, we can design customised courses in the areas of administrative law, freedom of information and privacy.
