Support for families facing child protection proceedings and Children's Court related matters — in NSW and the Northern Territory.
Care and protection matters are often urgent, highly stressful and deeply personal. The focus is on helping clients understand the process, prepare properly and respond effectively to the issues raised.
These matters typically move very quickly. Early legal advice can assist with understanding documents, court expectations, preparation for hearings and keeping the focus on practical next steps.

These matters are stressful. Jacqui's approach is to identify the most important action for right now, explain why, and give a realistic picture of how the process is likely to unfold.
