Steven Jones accepts briefs in Family Law, Domestic Violence and Child Protection matters. He is willing to be briefed in Legal Aid and matters under section 102NA of the Family Law Act 1975.
Steven was first called to the Bar in 2015.
He was admitted as a solicitor in New South Wales in 2017 and was entered on the
Register kept by the High Court of Australia in 2015.
Steven is an experienced Family Resolution Dispute Practitioner and regularly uses
his mediation skills to resolve trials as efficiently as possible as he recognises its
preferable for parties to consent to orders, rather than having orders imposed upon
following a trial.
He is a member of both the Family Legal Practitioners Association and the Family
Law Section of the Law Council of Australia. He is a member of both the Brisbane
and Sunshine Coast Bars.
As a solicitor, he worked in a variety of public sector positions in both New South
Wales and Queensland culminating in him being appointed as the Legal Manager for
the Australian Health Practitioners Agency in its Queensland office.
He was awarded a Master’s in Law from Queensland University of Technology with a
major in public sector health.
He has maintained his interest in Health Law and Ethics as a sessional lecturer at the
University of Queensland since 2015 and is willing to be briefed in health practitioner
disciplinary actions.
Between 2016 and 2022, he was contracted by Queensland Corrective Services to
attend prisons in Queensland to take complaints from prisoners, independently
assessed the merits of those complaints and make recommendations.
Steven was recognised for his tireless commitment to the Community by being
presented with the Queensland Corrective Services’ Commissioner’s Challenge Coin
in 2022.

Steven was first called to the Bar in 2015, however he brings with him a depth of experience, which outweighs his seniority at the Bar.
Since his retirement in 1995 from the New South Wales Police where he served as a prosecutor, he oversaw many disciplinary proceedings for various health practitioner boards while reading for his Master’s degree. It is perhaps no surprise then that his practice is primarily focussed on criminal and family law, as well as administrative law.
He is currently in his fifth year of lecturing at the University of Queensland in Health Law.
Steven is a member of the Bar’s Criminal Law Committee.
