Education, Health & Community

The key legal issues for operators in this sector include regulatory compliance, employment and industrial relations, privacy and data protection, risk management, governance and funding and grant arrangements.

Hunt & Hunt has a long history of acting for schools, tertiary institutions, public and private hospitals and a wide range of other sector participants. We also advise doctors, dentists, allied health professionals, school principals and senior executives and managers working across education and health.

We understand the operational pressures, stakeholder demands and service delivery expectations that organisations in this sector face. Our work is focused on helping clients meet their statutory obligations and community expectations while managing those pressures effectively.

We also recognise that legal matters in education and health can carry significant personal stress. We work to achieve sound outcomes for our clients while being mindful of the human dimension that is often part of the work.
