Family Report Writer | Single Expert Reports for the Family Court

Dr Heather Gan is a Clinical Psychologist available to complete Family Reports (also referred to as Single Expert Reports) for matters before the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. Her work is informed by clinical training, academic research into parenting and children’s development, and a culturally attuned approach shaped by her Singaporean-Chinese background.

Dr Gan’s academic background includes a PhD in Clinical Psychology, with a research focus on how parenting practices shape children’s emotional and moral development across cultures. This foundation gives her a strong appreciation of both psychological theory and practical family issues. She is particularly attuned to the experiences of families from Asian or cross-cultural backgrounds, and can provide culturally sensitive assessments that reflect an understanding of diverse parenting styles and values.

She is available to prepare:

• Family Reports / Single Expert Reports – comprehensive assessments to assist the Court in complex parenting matters

• Child Impact Reports – brief reports to inform interim decisions

• Specific Issues Reports – reports addressing discrete matters as identified by Court order

Dr Gan is fluent in English and conversational in Mandarin. She welcomes referrals involving families from diverse backgrounds, and brings a balanced and respectful approach to working with separated parents and their children.
