Angela is a Melbourne-based disability lawyer. She specialises in solving the unique legal and bureaucratic challenges faced by parents and siblings of people with intellectual disability and autism throughout their lifetime.
Growing up with a brother with Down syndrome, and being active in his care as adults, drove Angela's passion to help families in a similar situation. This motivated her to become a disability lawyer and establish her legal practice, Special Voices, in 2017.
For the past three years, Special Voices has almost exclusively focused on supporting families navigate the NDIS. Angela has represented many families and participants in NDIS appeals processes and advocated for them in other aspects of the NDIS. She has developed a reputation as an expert in NDIS matters related to children and adults with autism, and in the funding of early childhood intervention.
