About Us

Health Legal was established in 2003 as a result of the health sector indicating it wanted a quality and competitively priced legal service that understood their environment and was able to focus exclusively on their unique needs.

Health Legal’s team members are acknowledged leaders in the health and aged care sector and have won many awards.

Our CEO and Director Natalie Franks has been selected for inclusion in the Best Lawyers™ Australia listing in the practice area of Health and Aged Care in Melbourne annually since 2008 (the year this recognition was first introduced in Australia).

In addition, Natalie Franks also received the The Best Lawyers™ of Australia 2020 “Lawyer of the Year” Award in the practice area of Health & Aged Care Law in Melbourne, as selected by her legal peers. Only a single lawyer in each practice area in each community is given this honour. Natalie was also a recipient of this award in the years 2012 and 2017.

Our Legal Counsel, Alon Januszewicz, has also been recognised by The Best Lawyers™ Australia, in the field of Health and Aged Care in Melbourne, since 2020.

Natalie and Alon were recently included in Doyle’s Guide to the Leading Lawyers in Health and Aged Care Law in Victoria 2022 as a “preeminent” choice. Doyle’s recognition is based upon an extensive independent review process and consultation with clients, peers and relevant industry bodies.
