Do I have to take the Australian bar exam? Which state is better to apply for? What if I only want to be a solicitor and not a barrister… When is the closing application date?

    You haven’t said whether you already live in Australia or are looking to migrate here. The following links are to skill recognition requirements for immigration purposes, but I imagine that the same rules would apply for someone already living in Australia who wants to go into practice here:

    well that depends. i asume you’ll have to take our bar exam, because our legal system is different to the UK, similar, but not exaclty the same. having a LLB should help, but as far as i no, you’ll still have to sit the bar exam. as for the closing application date, mid-year applications are i think still open, but you’ll have to be quick, otherwise you can wait until december. hop that helps!
