Nicole is an AASW accredited social worker who has joined Polaris Lawyers after extensive practice across the mental health, family violence and homelessness sectors. Nicole has also previously volunteered as a patient advocate for women diagnosed with gynaecological cancers.
She practices under a trauma-informed, strengths-based and anti-oppressive approach, and provides mentoring for graduate social workers through the AASW.
One of Nicole’s biggest motivators in this work is to help clients find their voice and rebuild their confidence after experiencing traumatic events. She is aware of the emotional toll legal proceedings can have on clients, and is passionate about creating a safe and inclusive space for people to explore their emotions and support needs without judgement.
Nicole is proud to be part of the Polaris team and contribute to the great work being achieved by their legal staff to provide empathetic and flexible support for clients. Outside of work, you can find Nicole out in nature, or spending time with her cat, Lenny!
