Brett Wilkin is a dedicated family lawyer with over 12 years of experience, primarily in private practice. His unique background, having been raised on a family farm in the Riverina and the Far North Coast of New South Wales, provides him with practical insights into the challenges faced by rural communities. This has honed Brett's pragmatic and straightforward approach to advising clients on their legal issues, ensuring a focus on achieving the most favourable outcomes. Brett's expertise spans all facets of family law, with a keen interest in the synergy between family law and succession planning. His commitment to these areas is further exemplified by his accreditation in 2017 as an Independent Children’s Lawyer. In this role, Brett actively represents children in the Family Law jurisdiction and prioritises resolving disputes amicably, striving to avoid court proceedings when possible. Nonetheless, he is a capable advocate and has presented cases across all tiers of the state and federal court systems when necessary. In early 2023, Brett and his wife, Kylie, together with their three children, embraced a new lifestyle in the Great Southern Region. They are enthusiastic about integrating into the local community and bringing Brett's legal expertise to the area. Brett was admitted to practice law in February 2012, gaining admission to both the Supreme Court of New South Wales and the High Court of Australia, which underscores his comprehensive legal knowledge and commitment to his clients.
