Maternity Bar Jacket 

The Women Lawyers Association of the ACT is pleased to announce that a maternity bar jacket is now available for use by all women lawyers in the ACT.

The maternity bar jacked is specially designed with additional panels built into the sides and back of the jacket, allowing women to adjust the jacket to comfortably fit over a baby bump, regardless of their size.

It is WLA ACT’s hope that this initiative will support women barristers and advocates who are pregnant to continue take on court work as their pregnancy progresses.

The maternity bar jacket is available to all ACT women lawyers for loan free of charge.

The bar jacket is stored at the ACT Bar Association, Level 5 AMP Building, 1 Hobart Place, Canberra.

If you would like to use the maternity bar jacket, please contact ACT Bar Association Chief Executive Officer, Joanne Dean-Richie, on 02 6257 1437 or at ceo@actbar.com.au.
