Page Provan Turns 5

Friday, December 15, 2023

In this video, our director and award-winning fertility lawyer, Stephen Page, reveals the privilege of practising family and fertility law as Page Provan turns five this year.

Transcript

G’day, I’m Stephen Page from Page Provan Family and Fertility Lawyers, and I just want to share with you a little bit of news that’s important to me. It may not be important to you at all, but it sure makes me feel very proud, and that is that our little firm, the little engine that could, is now five.

So Page Provan was born out of adversity, as it turns out, in 2018, and Bruce Provan and I had been partners in another law firm, and then suddenly we were partners in our own law firm, and we decided to call it Page Provan.

Our area of practise has always been family and fertility law, and so we called ourselves Page Provan Family and Fertility Lawyers. And since 2018, we have been chugging along very happily.

In other videos, I talk about an award that I received this year and other big news, and we have continued to be listed in Doyle’s Guide as recommended family lawyers in Brisbane, which is pretty impressive, I think, for an outfit that just started, at least just started back in 2018.

So we keep getting listed year after year. I think that’s testament to all our staff that we’ve had over that time, that everyone tries the absolute best for our clients, because we only exist to serve others.

And it’s a real honour to help other people when their relationships break down or when they’re looking at forming a family through adoption or surrogacy or assisted reproductive treatment of some kind.

So it’s a real privilege to practise as a lawyer and a joy every day to wake up and know that our little outfit is still chugging along five years later. Thank you.

Adoption From Foster Care: Why QLD Kids Are Missing Out

Why adoption has become “institutionally invisible” in Queensland

Queensland’s child protection system is facing an urgent and deeply troubling question: why are children who cannot safely return home being left in state care for years, often moving from placement to placement, without genuine consideration of adoption? The recent Child Safety Inquiry has put that question squarely on the table. Its findings are confronting.… Read More »Why adoption has become “institutionally invisible” in Queensland

Sperm Donor Family Limits: QLD's Impact on Same-Sex Couples

Queensland sperm donor family limits explained

  Queensland’s new sperm donor family limits were meant to provide sensible safeguards for children conceived through donor treatment. Instead, Queensland Health has adopted an interpretation that appears to split a female same sex couple into two separate families. That position is difficult to reconcile with the law, common sense, and the lived reality of… Read More »Queensland sperm donor family limits explained

Surrogacy Agreements South Australia: Lawful or Unlawful?

South Australia surrogacy agreements: are they unlawful?

South Australia takes a distinctly narrow approach to surrogacy agreements. The issue is not simply whether a proposed arrangement is altruistic, or whether everyone involved has acted with the best of intentions. Under the Surrogacy Act 2019 (SA), the first question is whether the arrangement falls into the category of a lawful surrogacy agreement. That… Read More »South Australia surrogacy agreements: are they unlawful?
