Anzac Day is the solemn day of remembrance of those Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers who have fought and died for their country, and is marked annually on the anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign of the First World War.

On Anzac Day, we recognise the courage, mateship, skill, and perseverance of those who have served, fought, and given their lives in the military. On Anzac Day, we show love, honour and support for those who fought to enable freedom for people all over the world, but were not able to make it home.

"Lest we forget".

Our office will be closed today.

Expert evidence often plays a crucial role in building disputes, either in identifying defects, valuing works, or providing other technical information. Expert witnesses take on the role of an independent observer, with an overriding duty to assist the Court impartially on matters relevant to their expertise. Typically, an expert will deliver their opinion in a report, in response to stated questions.
