As a Navy Lawyer (known in the Navy and the Australian Defence Force as a legal officer), there is no better way for you to be exposed to a wide range of legal issues in a relatively short time-span. All this while being a member of a close knit team charged with protecting Australia's national interests.
As well as gaining legal experience in a wide range of areas, some of these unique to the military, you will also gain professional Naval and military skills, personnel and welfare management and leadership skills.
The Defence Legal Division is responsible for the provision of legal advice and other legal services to the ADF, the Department of Defence and the Ministers on legal matters. The Defence Legal Division includes ADF and civilian lawyers. While most of the civilian lawyers are located in Canberra, the ADF legal officers are posted around Australia and in some overseas locations.
A Navy legal officers primary duty is to advise Command. Navy legal officers contribute to Navy's mission by providing specialist advice in the core legal areas of legal practice in the Navy, which are military discipline, military administrative law and military operations law. In addition to the provision of specialist legal advice, Navy legals officers may also appear as advocates in Defence inquiries, or as prosecuting or defending Officers before Courts-Martial and Defence Force magistrate trials.
Like all government lawyers, Navy legal officers are required to be knowledgeable in a wide range of areas of law, including constitutional law, criminal/discipline and regulatory law, general administrative law, freedom of information and privacy law, statutory interpretation law, employment and workplace relations law, work health and safety law, environmental law, public governance and accountability law, human rights law, conflicts of interest law, official information and secrecy law, public relations law, and legal ethics.
Additional DutiesIn addition to their legal duties, you will likely be appointed as a Divisional Officer, responsible for the management and welfare of those sailors and officers within your division.
You might also be required to qualify as an Officer of the Day (OOD) and carry out OOD duties. The OOD is the Commanding Officers (CO) representative for a 24 hour period and is directly responsible to the CO for the safety and security of the Ship and personnel onboard.
