About Us

Eliver Family Law is a new, boutique practice in South Morang with a reputation for clarity, strategy, and care. We practise exclusively in family law matters—parenting disputes, financial settlements, and urgent applications. Our work is fast-paced, challenging, and often deeply personal.

At least 2+ years' experience in a legal support role, ideally in family law

Excellent written communication skills (this is non-negotiable)

Confident with Smokeball (or Leap), Outlook and Word

Calm under pressure and emotionally intelligent

Organised and proactive—you’ll often be one step ahead
