Watch the full video below to stay informed and stay deadly! 
Recently, ATSILS lawyers Pree Sharma and Natasha Goddard had the pleasure of visiting the Winnam Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders Corporation on beautiful Quandamooka Country in Lota!
They met with local Elders to deliver an engaging session on essential life and estate planning topics:
– Wills
– Enduring Powers of Attorney
– Binding Nominations for Superannuation
The Elders shared fantastic questions and meaningful yarns about why getting your legal affairs in order early is so important for protecting family and country.
ATSILS provides free and confidential legal assistance with Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney, and Binding Superannuation Nominations.
Don’t wait—give ATSILS a call today to speak with our team!
A huge, heartfelt thank you to Rochelle Bynon and the amazing team at Winnam for your warm hospitality and partnership in coordinating this wonderful session.
We recently hosted a Community Legal Education outreach session in Far North Queensland in partnership with the Tablelands Community Justice Group (CJG) and the Queensland Human Rights Commission’s First Nations Unit (Yirmba).
The targeted group of locals that attended allowed for flexible, deep, and meaningful discussions with everyone in the room.
Key highlights from the session:
Cultural & Human Rights: Wayne Grant, Senior First Nations Community Engagement Officer with Yirmba, led an insightful discussion on human rights, placing a strong emphasis on cultural rights.
– Legal Support & Guidance: The ATSILS team delivered practical education covering key topics including:
The importance of having a valid Will and handling burial disputes
– Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) resources
– Child protection processes
– Navigating the coronial system
– Knowing your rights when interacting with the police
– Police Wanding (Jack’s Law).
A huge thank you to Julie and Margaret from the Tablelands CJG for doing a fantastic job facilitating, supporting the events, and bringing our community together as always! 🖤
Building on the incredible momentum of our first gathering, we recently brought together our second cohort of Court Support Officers (CSOs) and Field Officers in Meanjin (Brisbane) for another powerful two-day training experience!
