2025 Minds Count Annual Lecture

27/10/2025

Across Australia, many legal practitioners work in isolation, whether in small towns, circuit courts, remote jurisdictions, or even within a city as sole practitioners, barristers, or in-house counsel. Isolation in legal practice can create hidden risks to wellbeing, from limited peer support to exposure to trauma and professional pressures.

Join us for the 2025 Minds Count Annual Lecture, an evening bringing together legal leaders and wellbeing experts to share insights and practical perspectives.
