Meet Jo-Anne Hunt 👋 Acting Principal Lawyer in one of our Violence Prevention Advocacy teams and the final feature in our series!

Jo-Anne joined Legal Aid Queensland in 2019 after working in private practice in Caboolture. Since then, she’s taken on diverse roles across the organisation, including working with the Family Law team in Brisbane and Maroochydore, the Child Protection team and now leading the Violence Prevention Advocacy team.

“Working at LAQ has helped me achieve things I never thought possible - from becoming an independent children’s lawyer to supporting disadvantaged Queenslanders in remote areas and building my expertise in child protection,” Jo-Anne says.

For Jo-Anne, the people she works with are a big part of what makes Legal Aid Queensland special.

“Some of the richest experiences I’ve had have been connected to the people I work with at LAQ, and the opportunity to problem-solve and share knowledge with them and the broader legal fraternity,” she shares.

We hope you’ve enjoyed following our series, celebrating the incredible people and opportunities that make Legal Aid Queensland such a special place to work. Let’s us know if you want to see more!
