Each year over 140,000 South Australians benefit from the services we deliver.

As a result of new funding, we have a number of exciting employment opportunities in 2023, within our Criminal Law Practice Division and our Family Law Division for Legal Officers at varying levels, both in the Adelaide metropolitan and Whyalla region.
