This role supports a handful of Family and Civil Law Legal Practitioners, working from our Rockhampton Office.
About You:
Depending on your studies, experience, qualifications, and attainment of a Practising Certificate, you will have an opportunity to prepare casework and provide assistance directly to clients – albeit under the direction and guidance of an experienced Practitioner.

You will have the autonomy to manage your own workflows without the pressure of billable hours, allowing for a healthy work-life balance.
