Principal Paula Chatfield worked at St Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne for eight years where she provided legal advice concerning the provision of health services to prisoners in custody. This experience required her to navigate the complex overlay between private providers in the correction system and the State. Such experience places Paula well to advise on applications pertaining to the legal matters of prisoners and inquests.
