Kelsey has worked in personal injuries compensation for over 15 years. Having previously assisted car accident, public place and workplace injured client’s, she found her true passion when she joined Donaldson Law in 2021. Since then, Kelsey has supported survivors of abuse in the ADF, in schools, in homes and under Child Migrant schemes to achieve meaningful outcomes through a trauma-informed and collaborative process. Similarly, she has also assisted many ADF abuse survivors in preparing and submitting a Report of Serious Abuse to the Commonwealth Ombudsman seeking reparation payments.

More recently, Kelsey has represented a number of former elite child gymnasts who trained at the Australian Institute of Sport in seeking damages for the psychiatric injuries such as eating and anxiety disorders they have suffered as a result of enduring years of toxic coaching practices.

She has also represented a number of veterans in seeking retrospective changes of their military discharges and helping them to obtain retrospective invalidity benefits from a variety of military superannuation schemes.

She considers it to be a privilege to work in this area of law and make a real difference to people’s lives.

Kelsey is known by her clients as a caring voice at the end of the phone, as well as a trusted source of advice.
