The Law Society or the Bar Association investigates complaints about their professionals respectively. The Law Society or the Bar Association may impose sanctions to deal with a complaint summarily for unsatisfactory professional conduct (but not professional misconduct). Unsatisfactory professional conduct complaints may be referred (and professional misconduct complaints must be referred) by the Law Society or Bar Association to the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT) to make disciplinary, compensation and other orders. An order from the ACAT recommending removal from the roll is referred to the Supreme Court.
