About the Business Unit
Through its Regulation and Dispute Services Group, the Department of Government Services (‘the department') leads regulatory functions across the Consumer Affairs portfolio.
The Regulation and Dispute Services portfolio interacts with a number of other government portfolios and impacts on everyday Victorians, a range of industries and a number of occupations. This demands that the unit consider communication and engagement as part of policy development and maintain effective engagement with agencies, industry and community stakeholders.
The unit provides policy services and advice to the Deputy Secretary, Regulation and Dispute Services Group, the Secretary, departmental executives, the Minister for Consumer Affairs and the Minister for Small Business. To cover the breadth of the portfolio, Regulation Policy must be highly adaptive and responsive. It operates on a matrix structure that creates and disbands multi skilled project groups to meet the government's legislative program agenda and changing priorities and substantive projects. This provides a rich opportunity for team members.

The Principal Legal Policy Adviser is accountable for leading the timely development and implementation of high-quality policy proposals, projects, programs and initiatives within the scope of the Consumer Affairs portfolio.
The Principal Legal Policy Adviser role requires the ability to proactively develop and maintain effective stakeholder relationships, using influence and negotiation skills, alongside effective written and verbal communication skills, to support the provision of accurate, timely and audience-appropriate advice in a dynamic environment.

About you
- Highly developed knowledge and experience of public policy, law and procedure, especially regarding consumer protection and business regulation issues.
- Proven ability to lead a team working on complex legislative and policy projects.
- Proven ability to adopt an innovative and proactive approach to the development of policy and legislative reform.
- Proven ability to build relationships and communicate with influence.
