Partnering With Passion: Shine Lawyers

We are beyond grateful for the corporate and community partners whose generous support significantly contributes to advancing life-changing medical research, equipment and patient care at The Prince Charles Hospital and Caboolture Hospital.

One of those wonderful partners is Shine Lawyers, who have an unmistakable passion for helping communities thrive. One way Shine Lawyers has shown support is through its widely anticipated annual charity golf day, which has raised close to $45,000 for The Common Good to date.

But it doesn’t stop with the golf course – Shine Lawyers team members can also be found donning their lycra and taking on the Tour de Brisbane cycling event each year, raising further funds and highlighting the impact that can be made in the community by people coming together.

“We’re proud to partner with The Common Good. The work they do is making real changes in the lives of many people in really difficult situations, which is something we seek to achieve in our own organisation,” said Brisbane General Manager Craig Oliver.

Launching in 2020, Legal Practitioners from Shine Lawyers volunteer their time each week at The Prince Charles Hospital to facilitate a vital Advance Care Planning (ACP) service.

Run in conjunction with The Prince Charles Hospital’s Internal Medicine Service (IMS) Advance Care Planning clinic, this volunteer-run service is invaluable as it ensures that patients’ future medical care aligns with their values and preferences, even if they are unable to communicate their wishes.

This planning often includes creating legal documents, such as advance directives or living wills, which guide healthcare providers and family members in making decisions on the patient’s behalf.

“When the Foundation approached us about facilitating a volunteer program at The Prince Charles Hospital to support patients, we were more than happy to be involved.

We understand the stress that families face when a loved one is in the hospital, and we saw this as a meaningful and tangible way for our team to contribute and make a difference in the community,” Chermside Legal Practice Manager, Glenn Brown said.
