Chris Tyack
Paralegal
Chris graduated from the University of Queensland with degrees in Arts (English/Politics) and Law. He began his legal career as Associate to Judge David Robin in the District Court of Queensland and the Planning and Environment Court in 2008.
After being admitted as a lawyer in 2010,
Chris pursued a less conventional career in legal research. At Anglicare’s Social Justice Advocacy Unit, he worked on refugee policy and Indigenous affairs. He wrote a nationally-recognised submission on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander constitutional recognition.
Chris then served as Assistant to the Primate (Presiding Bishop) of the Anglican Church of Australia, where he made a research contribution across many areas (eg. safeguarding reform, engagement with the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.)
He later served for six years as the Anglican parish priest of Camp Hill–Norman Park in Brisbane, establishing a well-regarded ministry within the local community, before returning to the legal services industry.
Chris brings a compassionate and attentive approach to his work. He values taking the time to understand people’s circumstances and strives to explain legal issues in clear, practical language.
Outside work, Chris is an aspiring author. He likes history and culture, listening to music, and spending time with friends over a glass of wine.
