For three months, we had the pleasure of working with Emily, who joined us two days a week through a secondment from our amazing pro bono partner, Johnson Winter Slattery.![]()

Emily worked closely with our Principal Solicitor, Ann-Margaret, and regularly attended our weekly legal clinic at Uniting WA’s Tranby. She showed great compassion and care when speaking with clients, and we saw her genuine excitement when achieving positive outcomes for them.![]()

Here’s what Emily had to say about her time with us 👇![]()
“I have really enjoyed the opportunity to build connections with clients and to have direct contact with them while working on their matters. It was especially fulfilling to meet some clients initially at Tranby and then continue making contact with them as I worked on their files. I found this really fulfilling and it brought me a lot of joy.”![]()

It has been great having Emily be part of the Street Law team. Thanks to Johnson Winter Slattery for partnering with us through our secondment program. With support like this, we’re able to reach more people with the legal help they need.
