17.01.2022 Good news to end your Tuesday: Queensland borders reopening July 10 to visitors from all states except Victoria

17.01.2022 Christmas is a special time of year and Christmas with children is extra special. But for many it can be an extremely stressful time of year, especially for separated families. Each year we get swamped with calls from frantic parents who are struggling to agree on Christmas arrangements for their children. Unfortunately, most professional services (counsellors, lawyers etc) close down over the Christmas period leaving families alone to try and navigate a resolution. Avoid this and alleviate your stress by making a plan, a very specific plan to avoid any last minute disagreements. If you haven't already - start having those conversations now, make your plans now and if you need assistance contact us. #opslawyers #christmas2020

17.01.2022 2020 has been a roller-coaster! We've welcomed a new baby new staff celebrated Diasy's admission as a lawyer and of course navigated a pandemic!

Thank you for your loyalty and support As of noon today our office will be closed for the Christmas break and we wish all our clien...ts and colleagues a very happy and safe Christmas and New Year. #opslawyers #criminallawyers #familylawyers #christmasholidays #christmas2020 #christmasclosure

13.01.2022 Is it time to consider easing restrictions in regional areas to allow those communities to begin their recovery? In Townsville there have been no new cases of COVID-19 for 28 days and low numbers of recorded cases throughout the crisis.

12.01.2022 Grand Final weekend is a highlight of the year for many us. Unfortunately it anticipated that it will coincide with a massive increase in family violence incidents. You can #playyourpart by: raising awareness, calling out unacceptable behaviours, ... seeking help if you're worried about your own behaviour, seeking help if you're worried about someone else. If you are in danger, call 000 now. If you, or someone you know is experiencing family violence contact 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732 - National) or DVConnect (1800 811 811 - QLD) If you are concerned about your behaviour, call 1300 766 491 (National) or DV Connect Mensline (1800 600 636) @dvconnectqld @1800respect_australia
