Legal Aid is seeking suitably qualified lawyers for a range of positions within our Criminal Practice

Working at Legal Aid is an opportunity to do challenging but rewarding work and make a meaningful contribution to the circumstances of disadvantaged and vulnerable clients and communities in the ACT.

Applicants should have an interest in criminal law (pleas, mentions, bail applications, defended hearings, trial instructions).   If you thrive in a fast-paced environment that offers variety, challenge and professional development – then we want to hear from you…apply now!

These positions will be required to work at our office location, due to the in-person nature of our legal work.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to include a statement of suitability against the selection criteria (max 2 pages) along with a current CV.
