You will lead initiatives to improve processes, information, and educational resources for self-represented litigants, including the development of inclusive and accessible information and the enhancement of online services. You will also work with external stakeholders to develop new programs to support self-represented litigants and expand access to justice.

Together with registry managers and division lawyers you will support, develop and build the capability of the Registry team to respond effectively to the needs of self-represented litigants.
