I joined Your Story Disability Legal Support in November 2019 after completing a Bachelor of Laws. In addition to a legal qualification, I also hold a Bachelors’ in Education and Human Services and have undertaken both paid and volunteer roles within these fields.

Over the past year, I have worked and volunteered with Basic Rights Queensland – who provide advice and advocacy for social security and disability discrimination matters. I have also volunteered with LawRight, which is a community-based legal service that assists clients with referrals to specialist pro-bono legal advice and representation.

I worked in education for many years, as a teacher and in other roles. I also worked with the Department of Child Safety. My passion is to collaborate with, and advocate for, the people I work with.

Jo, Client Information Officer (with National Legal Aid)

For the last six years, I have worked across Legal Aid Queensland in various teams including the Family Dispute Resolution team, Litigation support to lawyers and front-line services.

I have worked closely with police, social workers, community organisations and other stakeholders to provide information and support to vulnerable people.

I have worked in front line services for over 12 years and am passionate in providing assistance to build the bridge in connecting people most in need. I’ve worked in various locations including remote and rural. I’m excited to continue this journey with Your Story Disability Legal Support.

Lachlan, Client Information Officer (with National Legal Aid)

I joined the Your Story Disability Legal Support team in March 2020 after having worked at Legal Aid Queensland in the contact centre beginning in 2019. Prior to being in these roles, I worked in hospitality and retail and have always loved talking with and creating positive experiences for each person I assist. I am currently studying a dual degree of both a Bachelor of Justice and a Bachelor of Laws. The aspect of my job I enjoy the most is having meaningful interactions with people and doing all I can to assist everyone to the best of my ability. I am passionate about social justice and am hoping to work in areas of law that help those who are most vulnerable in our community. 

Jess, Client Information Officer (with National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services)

A proud Gunai/Kurnai Gunditjmara woman, I joined Your Story Disability Legal Support in February 2020. I graduated law in 2015 and have a Bachelor degree in social sciences.

My first experience working in the legal sector was in 2013 where I worked alongside The Honourable Justice Kaye at the Supreme Court of Victoria where I completed an Aboriginal clerkship supported by the Victorian Bar. I then commenced working with Victoria Police in the Civil Law Division where I gained extensive experience in advocating for victim/survivors of family violence as well as administrative matters in the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal.

More recently I have worked in Gippsland at Victoria Legal Aid where I worked as the Aboriginal Community Engagement Officer for the past three years, this involved advocating for and supporting the Aboriginal community with a wide range of legal issues such as Child protection, Infringements, Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal and Social Security matters.

Kate, Mobile Solicitor (with National Legal Aid)

I studied Law at the University of Sydney. Following graduation, I worked for a Judge at the Supreme Court of NSW and went on to work as a lawyer for the Commonwealth public service for a number of years. Since 2015 I have worked at a community legal centre and in various roles within Legal Aid NSW. I have volunteered in Australia and overseas on a number of social justice projects.

Rachael, Mobile Solicitor (with National Legal Aid)

I joined Your Story Disability Legal Support in November 2019. For the three years before that, I worked across Legal Aid NSW in various other teams. In the Domestic Violence Unit, I worked closely with police, social workers, community organisations and other stakeholders to provide a trauma informed service to people experiencing domestic and family violence. As a relief lawyer, I travelled to remote and regional locations across NSW, meeting people from all walks of life, giving them advice, minor assistance, legal information and casework.

I have Law and Psychology degrees from Macquarie University and in 2018 graduated with a Master of Laws. I continue to have a keen interest in Psychology and am continuing studies in this area.

Will, Mobile Solicitor (with National Legal Aid)

I joined Your Story Disability Legal Support in February 2020. Prior to this, I worked in other areas of Legal Aid NSW, working with vulnerable clients across NSW, and before that I worked for courts, community legal centres, universities, and private law firms.

I have law, arts and international relations qualifications and I am admitted as a solicitor in NSW.

Throughout my working life I have always focussed my energies on improving access to justice for those who need it most. I have worked closely with people with disability, newly arrived migrants and refugees, prisoners, and vulnerable workers. I firmly believe that everyone is entitled to access and enforce their rights, and it is this fight for equity that motivates me to get the best outcome for my clients.

Sifa, Senior Mobile Solicitor (with National Legal Aid)

I moved to Australia in 2003 to study Law in Perth. I came to Sydney after I graduated and now proudly call it home.

My career has broadly focused on dispute resolution, initially working in private firms. In 2015 I started my first role in the public service, as a senior lawyer in the Office of Solicitor Assisting in the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. I have worked in the public sector ever since, including at the Disability Royal Commission before I joined Legal Aid NSW and Your Story Disability Legal Support.

I am passionate about access to justice for vulnerable people in our society. I also volunteer in my community, including working with young African-Australian women to ensure that their lived experiences are recognised and represented in key national conversations.

Mark, Mobile Solicitor (with National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services)

I am a proud descendant of the Yawuru peoples from Broome Western Australia and the Gunggandji peoples from Yarrabah in Cairns of Far North Queensland, though I was born and raised on Larrakia country in Darwin, Northern Territory.

I currently hold a Bachelor of Laws, a Bachelor of Accounting, and in 2018, I was admitted as a Lawyer to the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory. Prior to joining the ALS NSW/ACT as part of Your Story Disability Legal Support, I worked within the legal sector within the ALS and Government in the Northern Territory and more recently with the Healing Foundation.

I look forward to working everyone in the team and getting out into communities (when COVID19 is over) to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with disabilities have the opportunity to share their story and experiences with this Royal Commission.  

Danielle, Social Worker (with National Legal Aid)

I have worked as a Social Worker within three different NSW health services for over 15 years. My work has been in community and inpatient settings-medical, trauma, cardiac and mental health. However, my main specialty has largely been within Adult Mental Health services. One of my sub-specialties was teaching Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills to clients, who had Borderline Personality Disorder.

Aside from my longstanding career as a social worker, I used to sing in a band and did my first triple pirouette at aged 21. However those days are long gone- most of my time is taken up with raising a young family and trying to escape to the country or seaside.

Brittany, Outreach Coordinator (with National Legal Aid)

I have worked at Legal Aid NSW since early 2018, I was motivated to seek a job at Legal Aid as a result of my upbringing in South-Western Sydney where there is a high proportion of socially and economically disadvantaged people.

I joined Your Story Disability Legal Support in December 2019. Working with people with disability is a cause very dear to my heart as my brother has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I am proud to be part of a service that strives to provide assistance to people with disability in a conscious and trauma informed way.

Most of my spare time is spent cooking, eating or planning my next travel destination!

Prior to joining Legal Aid I was the principal lawyer at the Women's Legal Service Queensland and I also worked at the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women's Legal Service for a number of years.

I am passionate about engaging with communities to improve outcomes for people experiencing hardship and adversity.

Before becoming a lawyer, I studied and worked on social impact documentaries in Sydney, which I see as another important tool for social change and challenging the status quo. I am looking forward to supporting people to share their stories with the Royal Commission, and for the Commission to lay down a pathway for change that will lead to a more inclusive society that is safe for all.

Josie, Tasmania, Civil Lawyer (with National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services)

I am a Northern Territorian, I grew up in rural Darwin and completed my Law degree in Darwin.

Prior to that I had worked in the Supreme Court as a Judge's Associate and as a law clerk for a prominent Aboriginal and human rights barrister and advocate. Through this I was involved in assisting people in the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse and the early stages of the Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern Territory.

I am very excited about the role and the opportunity to help empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders living with a disability.

David, Tas Jurisdiction Solicitor (with National Legal Aid)

I joined Your Story Disability Legal Support in July 2020. I have previously worked as a customer service officer at Centrelink, and as a duty solicitor at the Hobart Magistrates Court.

I come to this role from (an almost) three year stint as a mental health and disability solicitor for the Legal Aid Commission of Tasmania. This role involved representing people with mental illness, and cognitive disability in hearings about whether they would be permitted to make their own decisions. I was exposed to the systemic vulnerability and disadvantage experienced by people with psychosocial and cognitive disability, even when engaging with services ostensibly set up for their benefit.

I pursued this position because I hope the Royal Commission can empower people with disability to control their own lives and inform the development of the law to better serve the interests of people with disability. The Royal Commission is the result of years of hard work and advocacy and could mark a turning point for disability rights in Australia. I am very proud to be part of that effort.

Trina, Infoline Line Manager (with National Legal Aid)

Having previously worked in local government for many years I progressed to a manager position for the last six years, before taking on a business improvement role.

While in NSW I volunteered for a number of community service organisations including Barnardos, Camp Quality and Lifeline, and I was a board member of the Upper Hunter Homeless Support Service.  I have always had an interest in assisting vulnerable members of our community.

My family and I moved to Queensland to be closer to our respective families three years ago, which is where my career with Legal Aid Queensland began. During this time, I have been fortunate to work in roles such as Customer Service Coordinator, Peer Coach and Team Leader in the Contact Centre, focusing on ensuring our frontline staff deliver a consistent and thorough service to our disadvantaged clients.

I am very much looking forward to working with the Your Story team and clients.
