Supporting you

As a collective body the Law Society can actively address the practices and attitudes that can be difficult for individual solicitors to influence on their own. By taking initiatives on issues such as inflexible work arrangements and mental health we can effect positive changes across the profession.

The Society's initiatives include a Mental Health Education program for solicitors in selected regional areas, and a mentoring program to equip young solicitors with skills in managing the pressures of everyday practice.

We provide a range of counselling, childcare and lifestyle services for solicitors and their families. Members of the Law Society can also save on their health and fitness costs due to our alliances with leading health clubs Fitness First and Executive Health Solutions.
