Tracey McMillan is the founder and CEO of Forge, Australia's family-law firm for men navigating divorce, separation, parenting and property. She has spent more than thirty years in Australian law, practising predominantly in family law, and is an accredited mediator and Parental Coordinator. In 2026 she was named Australia Family Law Gamechanger of the Year at the ACQ5 Global Awards.

Tracey is the author of Divorce Is F*cked: A No-Bullshit Survival Guide for Men (2025), a field manual for men navigating the family courts. She spoke at the 27th International Families & Fathers Conference in Los Angeles in 2026, at the National Justice Forum, and on the Broken Fathers Podcast (Episode 21, October 2025).

Through Forge, Tracey runs sixty-minute, fixed-price strategy sessions with a written plan, the structure she wishes more men had walked into the family-court system with. She is based in Brisbane but Forge takes matters Australia-wide.
