2026 SV PARTNERS NQLA CONFERENCE

The North Queensland Law Association was established on January 25, 1959, with Mr. W. J. Gillman serving as the Chairman of the inaugural meeting and later becoming the Association’s first President. It was the first Regional District Law Association outside a major capital city and has remained one of the most active District Law Associations in Queensland since its inception.

A key function of the North Queensland Law Association is organising an annual conference, which alternates between Mackay, Townsville, and Cairns. Typically, the elected President each year practices in the district where the conference is held.
