Simon Moodie
Senior Lawyer BE, BA, PhD, MBA, JD
Simon graduated in law with a Juris Doctor degree from Melbourne University. Before studying law, he had a successful career as a senior manager and consultant in a range of businesses in Australia, the UK and the USA.
Although he has had considerable experience as an advocate in the Magistrates’ Court, Simon has tended to specialise in indictable matters covering homicide, sex and drug offences and fraud among others and with a focus on complicated matters with large briefs. This work has often involved much written advocacy, as has his work in preparing and lodging five Petitions for Mercy.
Simon also has relevant experience with medical and other health practitioners whose criminal charges have put their professional registration with AHPRA at risk. This work generally entails the preparation of extensive documentation to submit to AHPRA and to other associated bodies such as Working with Children authorities. It has also involved advocacy at AHPRA's Immediate Action Committee hearings and at VCAT.
Simon joined Stary Norton Halphen & Galbally in early 2011 after voluntary work with Fitzroy Legal Service and with the Northern Territory Legal Aid Commission in Alice Springs.
