Careful investigation, honest advice
Investigative experience
We focus on complex medical negligence claims, examining medical records, clinical decisions and the evidence needed to understand what went wrong.
Independent medical evidence
A claim needs more than a poor outcome. We work with appropriately qualified independent experts to assess the care provided and what any failures caused.
Clear advice from the start
We explain the strengths, difficulties, costs and practical options involved in pursuing a claim, so you can make informed decisions.

Frequently asked questions
What happens in a free case review?
We listen to what happened, identify the points that matter most, and tell you honestly whether it is worth looking into further and what the sensible next step is.
Do I have a case?
A poor outcome is not always negligence. A claim generally needs care that fell below the accepted standard, and harm that was caused by that failure. The free case review is where we start working that out with you.
Does it cost anything to find out if I have a claim?
No. Your first conversation, a look at your records and an honest answer about your options cost you nothing. If you go ahead, many claims can run on a no win, no fee basis, and we explain any costs in writing before anything begins. How costs work →
Who will act for me?
Reframe Legal is the medical negligence practice of Dr Rosemary Listing. Legal services are provided by Peter Evans & Associates, a law firm in Newcastle NSW, where Rosemary is Of Counsel. Your matter is handled by Rosemary and her team there, for clients across Australia.
Is it too late to make a claim?
Not necessarily, even if your treatment was years ago. Time limits often run from when you knew, or ought to have known, about the injury and its cause, and courts can extend them in some situations. The rules differ between states and are different again for children, so it is worth getting advice as early as you can. Claims by state →
Do I need to bring documents or evidence?
Not for the first conversation. If further review would help, we will guide you on what to gather, including how to request your medical records.
Will I need to talk about traumatic details?
Only what you feel comfortable sharing. We guide these conversations gently and with care.
How long does a claim take?
It depends on the complexity of your injuries, the evidence needed, and whether the claim resolves through negotiation or goes to court. We explain the likely stages and timeframes as your matter progresses.
What areas of medical negligence do you work in?
We work only in medical negligence, including birth trauma, spinal and neurosurgical negligence, missed and delayed diagnosis, oral and maxillofacial injuries, cosmetic surgery, surgical and hospital errors, gynaecology, and medication and device harm.
