This is more than a legal role — it’s an opportunity to work within a feminist, trauma-informed, multidisciplinary practice that puts survivors’ safety, dignity, and autonomy at the heart of everything we do.

You’ll be part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary team delivering expert legal advice and representation to women, trans and gender diverse people impacted by sexual violence — in close partnership with Victim Support ACT. This role offers the opportunity to work across criminal law, family violence, and broader civil litigation, with a strong focus on trauma-informed, client-centred practice.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your expertise or broaden your legal portfolio, we’ll support your professional growth and work with you to shape a role that aligns with your goals.
