Last week in Melbourne it was great for Aeran’s Jane Campbell to be part of an initiative focused on bringing together financial advisers and counsellors with lawyers who specialise in compensation for abuse.

The vulnerability of our clients means extra attention is needed to ensure a shared level of understanding about abuse and its impacts, which extend far beyond the receipt of any settlement funds.

The training provided by Sexual Assault Services Victoria was outstanding.

Thanks for Slater & Gordon Lawyers for hosting the day, and for the participation of the other law firms who specialise in this type of work.

Thanks too to the Financial Advice Association of Australia for supporting this initiative.

Enhanced collaboration between the professions can only help to improve client experiences.
