Welcome Address, 20th National Family Law Conference
Speech delivered by Law Council of Australia President, Mr Greg McIntyre SC at the 20th National Family Law Conference in Perth, 30 October 2024.
"It is a great pleasure to be with you today and be hosting all of you in my home state. According to our records, at least as far back as 2016, it has not been the case that the location of this conference and the base of a sitting President of the Law Council of Australia have overlapped.
I hope you will each get to spend some time exploring all we have to offer on this side of the country.
Family law is constantly shifting and changing just as we as a community and our family structures shift over time. It is fraught with individual vulnerability and stress as people navigate some of the most significant and scary changes in their lives. It is the area of law most Australians are most likely to turn to for assistance at some point.
As I am sure you are aware, this conference is the largest regularly held legal professional development event in the southern hemisphere."
