Waller Legal
in Pursuit of Justice
Waller Legal is a high profile legal practice dedicated to assisting people who have been sexually assaulted and people who were physically, sexually or psychologically abused or neglected when they were a child.
We listen. We act. Our job is to help people to obtain compensation. We also represent witnesses at Royal Commission hearings and we agitate for law reform and a National Redress Scheme.
We look after child abuse survivors. Unlike other firms, we don’t do anything else.
"No Win No Charge"
We offer "No Win No Charge" arrangements so lack of funds will never prevent access to justice for good causes. If we offer a No Win No Charge arrangement we also fund disbursements so that there are no upfront costs.
Why Choose Waller Legal?
- Experienced, independent and fearless legal advice.
- Dedicated representation of sexual assault survivors since 1995.
- Strength in numbers. Chances are, we are already involved in cases against the same offender, institution or defendant.
- We have an extensive archive of data that we can use to research and corroborate your case.
- We are not new to the scene. We are a well-established legal practice that has been dedicated to this type of work since day one. Dr Waller has been representing survivors since 1995 – long before the Parliamentary Inquiry or Royal Commission were announced.
- Waller Legal was established in 2007 and has always specialised in sexual assault and victims of crime matters.
- We work closely with victim support groups, psychologists, the Centres Against Sexual Assault (CASAs), mental health care professionals, the broader legal profession and the community.
- No claim is too big or too small. From a straightforward application to the Victims of Crime Tribunal to complex High Court Appeals, Waller Legal has the relevant experience.
Waller Legal welcomes the announcement of a Federal Redress scheme. At this stage very few details are available, however, we will monitor future developments closely and are working hard to ensure that we are ready to respond once further details are announced.
If you would like to be added to the Waller Legal Redress Register, please don’t hesitate to call us on 03 9415 9999.
For further details and updates regarding the Federal Redress scheme, please see our Royal Commission and Redress page.
