As long standing sponsors we are devastated to hear about the BNFL's decision to not allow the Woady Yaloak Football Netball Club teams to play this season. We fully support grassroot sports organisations, it is vital and formative for all Australian children to be able to participate in sports they love whilst finding community and support within their teams and clubs.
We are so proud and delighted to hear of the new Netball competition Woady Yaloaks have created with Netball Victoria, ensuring that there continues to be a space for all young Netballers to continue to grow their skills and love of the sport!
We stand with the community and they have our unwavering support for their future endeavours.

While both divorces and annulments result in a marriage ending, knowing which one to pursue depends on the specific circumstances of the marriage. A divorce acknowledges that a valid marriage has broken down beyond repair, whilst an annulment is a legal declaration that the marriage wasn't valid in the first place.
If you are in need of a divorce, or annulment, contact our office today!

Silly season is upon us and that means holidays and travel! Taking your kids on trips away is an incredible way to get them to see the world and experience new things, but you have to get your ducks in a row first! When you're co-parenting the first thing you have to do when booking a holiday is getting Consent from the other parent. Getting Consent in writing is the best way to avoid disruptions to your travel, especially when some countries require it for entry and exit and travelling without Consent can result in breaches of your Orders.
Once Consent has been obtained the only thing left to do is start planning your trip! We wish you happy and safe travels!✈️🎄

16 Days of Activism goes from the 25th of November to the 10th of December and shines a light on gendered based violence. This years 16 Days of Activism is focused on the online harassment of women and girls and the rise in misogynistic content that fuels abuse and violence.
Family violence can happen to anyone and by anyone, starting, listening and continuing the conversation around respectful behaviour and calling out abuse is how we can help on an individual level

Family dispute resolution is a special type of mediation designed for separated families. FDR is conducted by an independent dispute resolution practitioner and you can participate in FDR at any stage of your separation, even if you have started court proceedings! It can be good to use FDR when you are looking for a quicker, less expensive and less stressful solution than going to court and it allows you to make your own decisions, rather than having a judge decide!
