Legal Career Opportunities

We are seeking highly motivated and qualified individuals to join our legal team.

The ideal candidate will possess a strong academic record, excellent communication skills and a passion for the law.

To be successful in this role, you will need to have:

  • a Bachelor of Laws or Juris Doctor degree
  • a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice, or be eligible to obtain one following commencement
  • a weighted average mark of 60 or above

If you have any of the above degrees, you can apply to both our legal and generalist streams. If you're assessed as suitable for both streams, we'll try to match you in the legal stream first. Once you start, you'll stay in the legal stream for the duration of the program.

About the Role

As a graduate in the legal stream, you'll complete 3 rotations within the Legal Services Division. The legal stream is designed to give you a broad knowledge of the legal issues faced by our organisation and the APS.

  • in-house legal advice related to our payments and services
  • specialised legal advice, focusing on privacy law and digital services
  • commercial law and employment law
  • privacy, Freedom of Information (FOI) and compensation claims
  • litigation, including advocacy in the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) and legal advice on ART matters.

We support graduates by providing financial assistance to complete their Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice (or equivalent), practical legal training and obtain admission as an Australian lawyer.

What We Offer

We offer:

  • a competitive salary, ranging between $71,170 - $79,322 depending on your qualification level
  • progression to the APS5 classification upon successful completion of the program
  • a range of development opportunities to shape your career in the Australian Public Service
  • flexible working arrangements to help you maintain your work-life balance
  • a variety of leave options, including 4 weeks of annual leave
  • employer superannuation contributions of 15.4%

We're committed to progress, constantly moving forward to deliver services that are simple, helpful, respectful and transparent.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for the program, you must be an Australian citizen.

You'll need to have successfully passed and completed an undergraduate or postgraduate degree within the last 5 years.

If you got your degree overseas, you'll need to have it recognised by the relevant authorities.
