On 15 March 2017 we were delighted to host our annual Health Law Forum. The Forum is designed to provide those working in the health care sector with a series of presentations from eminent speakers that address both legal issues and challenges facing the health sector generally.

This year we were fortunate to secure five highly regarded speakers being Angelene Falk, Deputy Commissioner, Office of the Australian Information Commissioner; Professor Matthew Large, Psychiatrist; Dr Jonny Taitz, Director, Paediatric Patient Safety, Clinical Excellence Commission; Hugh Dillon, Former Deputy State Coroner, Coroners Court of NSW; The Hon. Justice Peter Richard Garling RFD, Judge, Supreme Court of New South Wales.
