Conferencing Officer

2 weeks ago

Canberra, Australia ACT Government Full time

The ACT Magistrates Court is seeking legal officers and part-time and casual conferencing officers to work in the Protection Unit.

Persons in these positions conduct mediation-style preliminary conferences in family violence, personal violence and workplace protection proceedings. The object of a preliminary conference is to provide parties with the opportunity to resolve the proceeding by agreement to avoid a contested final hearing. Conferencing officers provide parties with procedural information about the progress of the proceedings to a final hearing if proceedings are not resolved.

Parties to family/personal violence proceedings are often self-represented and experiencing violence and conflict. Preliminary conferences are conducted by shuttle.

In addition to conducting preliminary conferences, the legal officer will respond to registry enquiries, answer correspondence, conduct legal research and undertake other tasks under the direction of the senior director/deputy registrar of the Protection Unit.

Conferencing officers and the legal officer explain and provide guidance on the conference and protection proceedings process and connect parties with support services. The roles have limited delegation as a deputy registrar and authorisation under the _Court Procedures Rules 2006_ to exercise certain quasi-judicial functions. They also review transcripts of proceedings prior to release.

Conferencing officers and legal officers work cooperatively as a small team to conference the daily list and respond to queries. The roles require highly developed verbal communication, negotiation and listening skills matched with the ability to establish rapport and succinctly distil and explain information.

**Eligibility/other requirements**:

- **For conferencing positions**:

- successful completion of a recognised mediation course or extensive experience conducting alternative dispute resolutions
- accreditation under the National Mediation Accreditation System, or the ability to obtain accreditation is highly desirable.
- a legal qualification from an Australian tertiary institution is desirable
- ** For legal officer positions**:

- admission as a practitioner of the High Court or the Supreme Court of an Australian state or territory; and
- At least three years post admission experience

***

**Note**: There are several part time and casual positions available. An order of merit will be established from this selection process and may be used to fill future identical vacancies over the next 12 months.
