Meet some justice system volunteers

We’re shining a spotlight on some of the volunteers who support justice services across Queensland.

Maria and Irene

Two sisters with nearly 100 years of community service between them—and a family tradition of helping others, passed down from their father.

Rebekah Mannering

A family lawyer who volunteers at Women's Legal Service Queensland, giving women early advice when they need it most.

Janet Benstead

After a long career in healthcare, Janet found a new way to give back—supporting victims and witnesses through the Queensland court process with PACT (Protect All Children Today).

Ann White

A ‘lapsed lawyer’ turned PACT volunteer, Ann supports victims and witnesses through court—and reflects beautifully on what it really means to be part of a village.

Brett Thompson

Before he became the CEO of the Queensland Homicide Victims' Support Group, Brett was a volunteer ambulance officer on Norfolk Island. It's where he learned what it means to show up for someone at their worst moment.
