Kirsty Evans - NSW Regional Woman of the Year 2025
Kirsty Evans has led efforts to provide pro bono legal advice to the community of Molong after it was affected by severe flooding in 2022. Kirsty has dedicated over 250 hours helping 12 business owners, delivering over $100,000 in legal services pro bono.
Her advocacy has resulted in claims that were originally denied by insurers being overturned, with insurers partially accepting liability. Through her leadership, approximately $1 million has been returned to the community.
In 2024, Kirsty presented evidence at the Parliamentary Inquiry into insurers’ responses to 2022 major floods claims, exposing systemic failures and advocating for better practices. The inquiry adopted several of Kirsty’s findings in its recommendations.
