Chrissy's proficiency goes beyond workers compensation, as she has also appeared in the Magistrates Court and District Court for matters related to CTP, public liability, medical negligence, and superannuation law. She is renowned for providing forensic, detailed advice tailored to achieving optimal results, while also offering training on the Return to Work Act 2014 and mentoring young practitioners.
