Megan, WA Jurisdiction
Solicitor (with National Legal Aid)
I grew up in West Gippsland, Victoria and worked in child
protection in both front line and policy, and with vulnerable young people in
refuges. I moved to Kalgoorlie, WA more than 20 years ago and worked as Local
Area Coordinator in the Goldfields region for the Disability Services
Commission.
I took a break from paid work to have my family.
Upon moving to Perth more than 10 years ago and following
the kids all being full time in school, I returned to study law, graduating in
2012.
I have since worked in both private practice and in
community legal centres across the areas of employment, civil, migration (women
experiencing family and domestic violence on temporary visas) and crime (people
experiencing or at risk of homelessness; women experiencing family and domestic
violence at risk of homelessness). I am passionate about vulnerable people
being seen, heard, supported and included in our community.
Working at Legal Aid Western
Australia as part of Your Story Disability Legal Support, I look forward to
being part of the wider network assisting people to engage with the Disability
Royal Commission.
