Christina Cushen
Regional Correspondent (Australia & The Pacific)
0u

Christina has a particular interest in advocating for vulnerable individuals with disabilities and those who are disadvantaged. Her passion for social justice stems from her own life journey as a neurodiverse woman who understands the challenges that society places on people with disabilities. Through her advocacy, Christina aims to challenge societal stigma while promoting the rights of people with disabilities and other marginalised groups.
Christina also brings a breadth of practical experience. She has worked as a hotel receptionist, volunteered at multiple Community Legal Centres, assisted a barrister as a paralegal, and most recently completed a summer clerkship with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. These experiences have allowed her to engage with a variety of legal matters, broaden her exposure to different areas of law, and further strengthen her passion for advancing social justice within the legal sector.
