Amelia Schubach may be in the early years of her legal career,
but that hasn’t stopped her from putting herself forward – and
ultimately becoming – the driver for changes to workplace wellness
at one of Australia’s biggest law firms.
On this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy
speaks with Amelia Schubach (a finalist in the Wellness Advocate
category at the 30 Under 30 Awards 2022) about how she has
always been conscious of mental health issues, how she – as a
junior lawyer – became the person leading wellness initiatives and
activities at BigLaw firm Hamilton Locke, the right ways to go
about having those conversations with one’s superiors, and the
impacts that her work has had at that firm.
Ms Schubach also reflects on what she has learned about herself,
both personally and professionally, from being a
driver of such change, how those coming through the ranks
can look to influence their workplaces at a time in which
workforces are more scattered post-pandemic, whether emerging
leaders in law will be the ones who look to spearhead change and
move away from traditional thinking, and what she is looking
forward to rolling up her sleeves for as her legal career
progresses.
