A great success story for one of our client's this year was The Bundjalung Tribal Society "BTS". BTS is a charitable organisation providing low cost housing to the local aboriginal community.
BTS has over the last 2 years carried out a massive amount of work to restructure its operations. This was in response to the Federal Government's drive to modernise Aboriginal organisations and to ensure more professional and efficient delivery of funded services. BTS has now been award a "PARS" accreditation which means it is now one of the leading Aboriginal organisations in NSW which will have a massive benefit to its local members of Bundjalung Nation.
Stacks/The Law Firm in Ballina is very proud to have assisted BTS and to be associated with the organisation.

To file a workers compensation claim, you must:
- See your doctor. You will need to get the appropriate written medical forms and advice, both for your own health and so that you have the official doctor’s certificate you need to lodge a Worker Compensation Claim.
- Inform your employer, and make sure that your complaint or injury is recorded at your employment.
- Your employer will fill out a Worker Compensation Claim form with you, and will then be responsible of contacting your workplace’s insurance company. By Australian law, all employers must have insurance under Workers Compensation.
- Call Stacks/Compensation for legal representation, especially if your claim is rejected, delayed, or does not cover what you believe to be appropriate to your injury.

With Christmas just around the corner and the exemption from Stamp Duty for First Home Purchasers on existng homes being cancelled on 31 December, 2011, the pressure is on.
At Stacks Taree, we are experiencing an influx of clients wanting to complete their sale or purchase prior to Christmas as well as First Home Purchasers wanting to cash in on the benefit of the exemption from stamp duty.
It certainly is a busy time of the year with a certain amount of uncertainty hovering when Banks are involved.
