It is Nakkie’s passion to assist injured people of all walks of life in obtaining positive outcomes in their personal injury claims.

Injuries of any kind can be very disruptive to a person’s life and it requires compassion, skill and experience to assist injured people in achieving a positive outcome in the shortest possible time, with the least possible expense and minimum stress. When dealing with clients Nakkie takes an honest and practical approach and establishes a clear mandate at the commencement of each matter.

Nakkie holds a Bachelor of Laws from South Africa (1992) and was admitted to the Supreme Court of South Africa in 1993. She practiced as a personal injury lawyer in South Africa until 2008, specialising in litigated motor vehicle accident claims with a focus on catastrophic head injuries and amputations. Nakkie furthered her Australian legal qualifications at Murdoch University and the College of Law in 2010 and 2011 and was admitted to the Supreme Court of Western Australia in September 2011.

Her expertise covers a broad range of personal injury claims, focusing on State and Federal workers’ compensation, motor vehicle accident claims and child sexual abuse claims.

Nakkie has made presentations to Road Trauma Support WA, CWU and psychologists from the Australian Psychological Society. Nakkie occasionally writes blogs for Tindall Gask Bentley and has written articles for the TWU, CFMEU and WAPU.  She is a member of the Law Society WA’s Personal Injury and Workers’ Compensation Committee and a member of the Australian Lawyers’ Alliance WA Committee.

When Nakkie is not working on interesting cases she enjoys mountain biking, running, camping and fishing.
