Kim Turvey Lawyer - Defence & Protection

02/04/2026

Invoking Ryan’s Rule for Georgia gave us mixed results. A rule designed to give people a voice can lose its impact if bureaucracy makes it harder to use. It’s important we hold the health department accountable and ensure change is made for the safety and welfare of all patients. Particularly those who are vulnerable and don’t have a voice.

Now is the time to stand up for the most vulnerable members of our community.

We need to have real conversations about the challenges facing those who are often unheard and overlooked, and work together towards meaningful change.

Keep your eyes peeled for details of an upcoming community meeting in Gympie.

🇫🇷 ISPCAN International Congress - Child Protection

I’m proud to have been a contributing author at the 2014 International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse & Neglect (ISPCAN) International Congress.

Our paper, “Everybody Needs to Know – Potential for Safety: Can Education Reduce Trauma and Harm in the Assessment and Investigation of Unexplained Traumatic Injuries,” explored how education can play a critical role in reducing harm during child protection investigations.

My experience in policing and child protection, together with my role on the board of the Shaken Baby Prevention Project in Sydney, has shaped the way I approach my work as a lawyer. It has given me a deep understanding of the complexities families face and strengthened my ability to provide informed, compassionate, and effective advocacy in child protection matters.

I remain committed to this area of practice, continuing to advocate for children and families navigating the child protection system, and supporting and mentoring parents of children living with brain injuries or trauma.

This work continues to be both important and deeply meaningful to me.
