Rachael & David Chin

Higher education has opened doors for both Rachael and David Chin. Law degrees enabled Rachael to move to Sydney and become a published author and enabled David to become a judge after a successful career first as a solicitor and then a barrister in private practice. The ancient and noble profession of Law is strengthened by the inclusion of talent from all backgrounds. Western Sydney University opens doors for those who may otherwise be denied such opportunities. The ‘Rachael & David Chin Law Scholarship’ helps build on Western Sydney University's tradition by empowering those whose greatest barrier to the successful completion of their Law degree is financial.
