We’re excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a legal support professional to join our Melbourne office, with the option of hybrid working arrangements for those who value flexibility.

This full-time role sits within our Workers’ Compensation (WorkCover) practice. We're looking for a passionate, reliable, and detail-oriented legal assistant—whether you're at a junior or senior level. Experience in workers’ compensation or WorkCover is ideal, but we also welcome candidates with a strong background in personal injury (PI) law. For the right candidate with solid PI experience, part-time arrangements may also be considered.

At our firm, people come first. We’re proud to offer:

A genuinely flexible and supportive working environment

A close-knit team that values collaboration and care

The chance to contribute meaningfully to the lives of injured workers

A soon-to-open, beautifully designed office space—crafted by the same designers behind Mecca’s head office—to help you feel inspired and appreciated every day

If you’re looking for a role where your skills will be recognised, your voice will be heard, and your work will be valued by a kind and down-to-earth principal lawyer, this could be the perfect fit.
