Reflection of an Independent Children's Lawyer After 15 Years
Oct 13, 2023 Season 1 Episode 103
Dan Toombs

In this edition of the Law By Dan podcast, in family law matters, when necessary, the Court can recommend the appointment of an Independent Children's Lawyer to represent the child's voice in family law proceedings. It goes without saying that by its nature it can be a challenging task, exacerbated by very poor legal aid funding to practitioners and the increasingly complex nature of the role. 

In this context, the recent recipient of the QLD Law Society Medal, Stephen Page speaks about his recent retirement from the Role of Independent Children's Lawyer after 15 years.
