Law Graduate Career Opportunities

The Australian Government offers a pathway to an exciting and rewarding career in law. The Legal Stream of the Graduate Program is led by the Attorney-General's Department and provides access to multiple opportunities as a law graduate with over 20 agencies participating.

The Legal Stream consists of two sub-streams: Legal Policy and Legal Practice. Both sub-streams provide fulfilling work, challenges, and opportunities to strengthen and grow your skill set. Your professional development will be supported so you can enhance your legal expertise.

About the Legal Stream

You will commence in a full-time ongoing position in an Australian Government department or agency with a generous salary range between $60,000-$80,000 a year. You will also have access to mentoring and both on-the-job and formal learning and development opportunities.

As a graduate in the AGGP Legal Stream, your work will differ based on the sub-stream and agency you are placed in. You may be asked to provide input into legal policy or assist with the administration of legal policy. You could also be involved in the provision of legal advice as part of an in-house legal team within Commonwealth Government agencies.

You are in charge of your career and will have the opportunity to advise if you would like to be considered for Legal Policy, Legal Practice or both sub-streams, as well as preference which participating agencies you would like to work for.

The Legal Stream will provide you with fulfilling work, challenges and opportunities to strengthen and grow your skillset in a fast-paced, supportive and flexible environment, all while making a difference to the lives of all Australians.

For the program, the Attorney-General's Department will undertake an Affirmative Measures – Indigenous recruitment process alongside the Legal Stream to better support First Nations candidates through the process. First Nations candidates are encouraged to apply.

Most graduate roles are based in Canberra. Some roles may be available in other Australian cities and major regional centres. Relocation assistance may be available for successful eligible candidates.
