2019 Lawyers Pay and Conditions Survey
The Women Lawyers Association of the ACT 2019 Lawyers Pay and Conditions Survey is now open! The survey can be accessed here.
The ACT is a small jurisdiction and information about employment, pay and conditions is often unavailable in the public sphere, making it difficult for lawyers to find an independent benchmark from which to negotiate their entitlements.
Tiffany, Phyllie, MacCallum and Amber - Women in Law Organisation (WILO)
WLA ACT recently caught up with current committee members of The Women in Law Organisation (‘WILO’) to learn a bit more about them and to chat about some success stories from the program.
WILO runs a mentoring program which pairs women studying at the ANU’s College of Law with professional women in the legal sector. Tiffany Wilken, Phyllida “Phyllie” Behm, MacCallum Johnson and Amber Barney are the current committee members of WILO, having taken these leadership roles from the creators in 2017. Unfortunately, Amber was unable to join us for the interview.
The full interview can be viewed here.
