TheMLEA Story

MLEA was founded in 2011 by respected Occupational Therapist, Vanessa Aitken. Her initial focus centered on delivering well-reasoned, resilient and fair medicolegal opinions. Her approach of impartiality under all circumstances and her 30+ years of clinical practice, quickly established her widespread reputation for high-quality expert clinical opinions, supporting fair settlements nationwide.

As demand grew for her services, Vanessa added more specialists to the team. Covering everything from respiratory disease, to spinal injuries, to whiplash, infants to old age. Understanding clients need 100% reliability from their medicolegal reports, Vanessa built a team of highly qualified clinicians. All of whom she has personally trained in medicolegal practice. This is rare, as generally, great clinicians do not have medicolegal specialisation.

MLEA’s backbone is therefore built on objectivity, reliability, knowledge, fairness, and credibility. Recognising this strength and uniqueness, our clinical practice has naturally expanded to deliver our specialisation into other areas, such as NDIS, workplace, community and finance.

Empowering Expert Opinions

Our experts provide reliable clinical opinions to lawyers, insurers, NDIA, fund managers, and trustees. Whether our opinion helps achieve a fair legal settlement, determines a disabled person's fair access to the NDIS scheme or determines lifetime needs for those with a permanent disability.

Breaking Down Barriers

As allied health professionals based in Brisbane, we are well suited to working with individuals to improve their physical, cognitive, emotional, and psychological well-being. This is accomplished by virtue of our training, knowledge base, and theoretical approaches. We work closely with clients in Brisbane and surrounding areas to understand their personal barriers and help them redefine what they are capable of. Our goal is to understand capability and expand capacity to help people in our community live their best possible lives.
