Legal Aid ACT is seeking interested persons in a full-time capacity (4 day may be considered) to fill Legal Support Officer positions across the practice areas.
Legal Aid, established under the Legal Aid Act 1977, is dedicated to promoting a just society in the ACT. Its mission is to ensure vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals receive the legal services necessary to protect their rights and interests, enhance community understanding of the law, and advocate for law reform that benefits those in need.
Legal Aid focuses on early legal intervention, particularly for groups such as victims of family violence, children, the elderly, First Nations people, people with disabilities, and culturally diverse communities. Key objectives include:
• ensuring equitable access to legal services and facilitating early resolution of legal issues, with appropriate referrals to support services.
• improving service efficiency and timeliness to assist more people and enhance legal understanding within the community
Legal Aid has four (4) in-house legal practice areas: Criminal, Family, Civil Justice and Early Intervention.
Legal Support Officers may be rotated between these four functional areas to enhance their professional development or to meet operational requirements.
Legal Support Officers undertake a range of operational, administrative and procedural support tasks and assist in the provision of services in a legal practice.
