Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge Scott Simmons for the generous use of his photographs of Tharwa Bridge.

We also acknowledge Common Ground, a First Nations not-for-profit, whose work was of assistance in preparing our Acknowledgement of Country. In particular, we paraphrased some of the words of Phoebe McIlwraith from her article 'First Nations Legal Systems' first published on 15 October 2021 at www.commonground.org.au/article/first-nations-legal-systems

Permission to use the work was sought and obtained from Common Ground prior to publication of this website.

Carolyn Simmons Legal supports inclusion and respect for all and seeks to deliver services in a manner that incorporates the principles of universal design. We are opposed to prejudice, discrimination and bigotry based on gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, physical characteristics, race, ethnicity or religion.*

*We choose to prioritise the provision of services to those who act kindly towards others. If you wish to pre-judge others, discriminate against others, or display bigotry about these matters, we are not the right firm for you.

We may recommend other services and businesses that may be of assistance to you. We will do this based on our personal experience of that service, or of the person operating that business. 

If there is any personal relationship between any of our staff and the staff of any business we recommend, that relationship will be disclosed to you.

We will not accept any financial benefit from any business we recommend.
