Bill Munro

Bill Munro was recognised as the Outstanding Indigenous Queensland Lawyer in 2019, a testament to his commitment to justice and community engagement. In addition to his legal career, Bill dedicates time to various community associations, reflecting his ongoing connection to and support for the communities he serves. Bill has significant experience in cases involving institutional abuse, particularly relating to individuals who, as juveniles, endured abuse in Government and Church-run institutions, including juvenile justice centres and schools. Drawing on both his legal expertise and personal background as an Aboriginal man, he is passionate about advocating for these victims, many of whom were young and vulnerable at the time of their abuse. His understanding of cultural and social issues allows him to support both Indigenous and non-Indigenous clients effectively. In addition to his work in institutional abuse, Bill acts for clients injured in motor vehicle accidents and workplace incidents. He approaches these matters with diligence, aiming to secure fair outcomes for individuals affected by such injuries. Beyond personal injury law, Bill has developed a keen interest in Wills and Estates administration. He has assisted clients in cases involving disputed wills, representing both those who feel they have been inadequately provided for and executors facing legal challenges from family members. His experience in this area demonstrates his capacity to navigate complex and sensitive matters with professionalism and care.
