David Puls - Migration Agents Registration Number
0533088
David Puls has a unique combination of commercial and community experience. David studied his business degree at Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia, completing a major in business law. He founded the University’s law student society and was Independent Chair of the University’s Guild. After completing his Bachelor of Business, David studied law at the University of Western Australia whilst working full time as an articled clerk in a mid sized commercial law firm from 1989. David completed an internship of five year articles culminating in his admission to the Supreme Court of Western Australia as a barrister and solicitor in 1995. David worked in general commercial and insurance litigation for a number of years before joining the Aboriginal Legal Service of Western Australia in 1998, where he represented one of Western Australia’s Indigenous language groups in their Native Title application. David moved to Sydney in 1999, where he was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. After a further brief period in commercial practice, he took up the position of Principal Solicitor for the HIV/AIDS Legal Centre (HALC). David filled that position full time for a period of six years. David was registered as a migration agent in 2000 after identifying a clear need for specialised immigration health advice, initially practicing only in the Migration Review Tribunal conducting health waiver applications. His area of specialisation quickly grew to include all types of visa classes, and he currently volunteers at the free advice sessions organised through the Gay & Lesbian Immigration Task Force (GLITF). David’s expertise has resulted in him being asked to present specialist seminars on health and immigration, including to the Australian Society of HIV Medicine, and at the Immigration Advice and Rights Centre. David also continues to present general health law seminars to a range of service providers, including hospitals, doctor’s groups, social workers, and other health professionals. David was an invited contributor to the New South Wales Solicitor’s Practice Manual and the New South Wales Law Handbook, and has legal articles published in various journals, including HIV Australia. Professional highlights for David include authoring of a legal publication, the HIV/AIDS Sentencing Kit, which led to a review in the Australian Law Journal by Justice Michael Kirby in 2000 in which his Honour states “the young lawyers responsible for its preparation and update deserve praise”. In 2001 under David’s guidance HALC was the winner of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission’s Human Rights Award for Law. In September 2007, David commenced a secondment from Advocate and has taken up a position as Senior Policy Advisor at the Royal Australasian College of Physicians ('RACP') to further develop his interest and expertise in the field of health policy and advocacy.
