Free Confidential Legal Advice for Sunshine Coast Health Workers

Butler McDermott Lawyers proudly supports the healthcare professionals of the Sunshine Coast. As part of our ongoing commitment to the local community, we are offering free, confidential legal advice to healthcare workers.

Consultations are available at Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Nambour General Hospital and Gympie Hospital.

Our senior lawyers are available to assist with personal injury claims, estate planning, family law advice, and more. This initiative is provided independently by Butler McDermott Lawyers as an external legal resource, offering optional support for health workers who may wish to seek personal legal advice.

 

Supporting the Sunshine Coast Healthcare Community

Health workers navigate demanding careers where complex personal, professional, and family matters can sometimes arise.


Access to clear, supportive legal advice can provide valuable peace of mind during life’s more challenging moments.

Butler McDermott Lawyers offers free initial legal consultations for health workers dealing with:

  • Workplace injuries and workers’ compensation claims
  • Estate planning, including Wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney
  • Family law advice, covering separation, parenting, and property matters
  • Personal injury claims for both physical and psychological harm

 

This service is offered externally, complementing existing staff wellbeing resources by providing accessible, confidential legal support where needed.

Trusted Legal Advice

Your Privacy is Our Priority

We recognise that privacy is of paramount importance. Your consultation is fully protected by Client Legal Privilege (CLP). This means that everything you discuss with our lawyers is strictly confidential.

Appointments can be held:

  • On-site at Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Nambour General Hospital, or Gympie Hospital.
  • At our Nambour office where we offer complete privacy away from the workplace.

 

How to Access Your Free Consultation

We have made the process simple:

  1. Book your confidential consultation online or by telephone.
  2. Meet privately with a senior lawyer at your preferred location.
  3. Receive tailored legal advice with no obligation to proceed further.

 

Spaces are limited. Taking early action can bring greater peace of mind during busy times.

 

Empowering Sunshine Coast Health Workers

We understand that health workers dedicate themselves daily to the wellbeing of others.
At Butler McDermott Lawyers, we believe that you deserve the same protection and support when navigating personal legal matters.

We are proud to support the health workers who support our community.
