An independent support person in Gympie

• Workplaces in Gympie and the surrounding region, for disciplinary, performance, grievance, investigation and redundancy meetings
• Court: the Gympie Magistrates Court on Channon Street, where the District Court also sits on circuit. QCAT minor civil dispute matters are heard through the local Magistrates Court too.
• Mediation with private mediators, and at venues arranged by workplaces, lawyers or the Queensland Government's Dispute Resolution Centres
• Other appointments, such as specialist appointments, school meetings and agency meetings

In a regional town, the person running your meeting, the other party or the people in the waiting room may well be people you know. That can make it hard to ask a friend or colleague to come with you, and harder still to talk openly afterwards.

An independent support person from outside your circle keeps it private. I have no connection to your workplace or community, and everything you tell me stays confidential.

Gympie is about 66 km from Noosa, a drive of just under an hour. I plan Gympie bookings so I arrive early, and for long days, like a court list that runs late or a full mediation, I keep the whole day free.

If your meeting is at short notice, tell me straight away. I'll be honest about whether I can get there in person. If I can't, I can join by video or phone instead.

I sit beside you, take notes and type them up within 24 hours. I ask for breaks or for questions to be repeated, handle the little things, and debrief with you straight afterwards.

I don't give legal, HR or medical advice, speak for you, or act as your advocate. That boundary is what makes a support person welcome in the room.

Every booking starts with a free 15-minute call and a written quote that includes travel, so there are no surprises. I'm available Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and weekends by arrangement. For long hearing or mediation days, ask about the hearing or mediation day option.
