Maria Gerace SC

Practice areas:
  • Appellate
  • Fraud & corruption
  • Professional negligence
  • White collar crime

Maria is one of the strongest and most effective advocates at the bar when it comes to matters with highly technical medical and scientific evidence. She’s particularly skilled in evidence and cross-examination and she can deal with difficult topics sensitively but directly. Her goal is always to make her clients feel safe while she’s representing them and their interests in court.

Maria has 30 years of experience in medical negligence and she loves the fact that the field is changing all the time. She was called to the bar in 2005 and has represented hospitals as well as medical and allied health professionals. Maria enjoys the fact that her position at the bar can bring about policy, legislative, and social change to improve outcomes for patients and practitioners.

Maria’s work list

Why I do what I do…

  • The law is a live beast and it changes all the time, which makes courts dramatic and exciting places to be.
  • Unpacking expert evidence is something I really enjoy, and I love explaining difficult concepts to people.
  • I love being able to get compensation for people who have been injured and being able to speak for them in court.

Maria’s play list

When I’m not in court…

  • Supernatural horror on Netflix is my favourite form of escapism. It’s funny – I never watch anything too serious.
  • Being at the beach with my family is always special, especially up at Killcare Beach in Bouddi National Park.
  • I’m usually ferrying my daughter to her social outings. She has a better social life than most people I know.
