Murri Court – official re-opening in Rockhampton
This week staff from our team in Rockhampton attended the official re-opening of the Murri Court – the first re-opening to occur in the State.
The opening ceremony was attended by a number of important dignitaries, including the Attorney-General, the Chief Judge of the District Court, the Chief Magistrate and local Elders (just to name a few).
A number of speeches were made to commemorate the occasion and our dedicated team in Rocky were acknowledged by the Coordinating Magistrate (Mr Press) in his speech. He spoke about the hard work ATSILS does and made particular mention of Tammy House our Court Support Officer in the region. Magistrate Press indicated that he could not imagine how the Court would function without Tammy’s invaluable assistance, particularly helping our clients to properly understand their charges and give instructions.
Great to see this culturally responsive justice alternative re-established and well done to the team in Rocky.
