Dragana Prtenjak

We are very pleased to welcome Dragana Prtenjak as one of the newest Solicitors joining our team. Dragana brings an impressive blend of legal experience, tribunal exposure, and a strong academic foundation that positions her as a valuable addition to our practice.

Dragana joins us from the Fair Work Commission, where she has built a strong reputation over the past several years in a variety of Associate roles. Most recently, she served as Associate to Commissioner Ryan, having previously supported Deputy President Boyce and, before that, the wider Commission as an Associate. Her work in these roles has given her deep insight into federal workplace relations, decision‑making processes, and the practical application of employment law in complex and sensitive matters.

In addition to her tribunal experience, Dragana has contributed to significant national work through her time at the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability, first as a Paralegal and later as a Law Graduate. Her work in this space reflects both her legal capability and her commitment to justice and accountability.

Dragana began her early legal career as a Legal Secretary at Mark Brown & Associates, where she gained practical grounding in litigation support and legal administration. She has continuously built on that foundation with dedication, progressing quickly through increasingly demanding roles.

Academically, Dragana holds a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Psychological Science from the University of Wollongong, giving her a unique dual perspective on both legal frameworks and human behaviour. She completed her Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice through the College of Law in 2022.

Dragana is known for her professionalism, strong analytical skills, and genuine commitment to supporting fair and equitable outcomes. Her exposure to tribunal processes, investigative work, and client‑focused legal practice makes her an excellent fit for our team.

Please join us in welcoming Dragana to the organisation. We’re delighted to have her on board.
