We have also increased staffing in high impact locations such as Rockhampton, Cairns and Mount Isa with new roles providing services for Children and Young People. Our first District Court Paralegal/Junior Legal Practitioner role in Brisbane was announced in 2019 for the Criminal Law team.

Skyrocketing prices of food and petrol are putting more pressure on low-income households.

We need to #RaiseTheRate so that everyone can afford the basics.
