The Gold Coast District Law Association Inc. is proud to be supporting the Annual Gold Coast Legal Conference in association with Queensland Law Society.

We are especially excited to share that our very own committee member, Casandra Laurie, will be chairing a session on neurodivergence in the law alongside the wonderful Andy Solange - a bilingual psychologist, international guest speaker, and founder and Managing Director of Ultivate Pty Ltd, a boutique psychological health innovation company advancing enrichment science for professionals, leaders, innovators and teams.

This is such an important conversation for our profession, and we couldn't be prouder to have Casandra leading it.

Here is a short clip, made by Andy, on what is to come!

It turns out the Gold Coast legal community are pretty quick on their feet!

Thank you to everyone who came down Friday morning for the GCDLA Beach Relay. It was such a great morning and exactly what these events are all about. The energy on the beach was fantastic and it was so great to see so many familiar faces out there giving it their all.

A big congratulations to OMB for taking out the trophy once again, a well deserved win! 🏆 We also want to give a sincere thank you to Nobbys Surf Life Saving Club for providing the equipment and welcoming us down to the beach.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our wonderful sponsors, and we are so grateful for their continued backing of events like this one. See you all on the beach next year!
