Chelsee Callaghan
While studying, I worked as an In-house Legal Assistant to the Senior Counsel at AngloGold Ashanti Australia in the mining sector, before joining McCabes in 2023.
At McCabes, I worked alongside the Partners in their newly established Historical Child Sexual Abuse Department, as well as assisting with various Public Liability matters.
Additionally, I have gained valuable experience working with the Department of Education in several schools across the Perth Metropolitan area.
This role allowed me to engage with families from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds, providing insight into how familial situations can affect children from a young age. This experience sparked my interest in Family Law.
