With a proud legacy of award-winning work in advocacy, criminal defence, and law reform, NAAJA operates across the NT in Darwin, Palmerston, Katherine, Tennant Creek and Alice Springs. We are more than a legal service—we're a movement for change.
About the Role
We are on the lookout for a high-performing Criminal Lawyer ready to make a meaningful difference. You will represent clients across a broad range of criminal matters—summary, indictable and appellate—before the Local and Supreme Courts. You'll also travel to remote circuit courts, providing access to justice where it's needed most.
If you have 2–4 years post-admission experience, a solid background in criminal law, and the drive to be a voice for those most vulnerable, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do
Advocate in court – from bail to jury trials
Deliver culturally safe legal advice
Travel to remote communities for circuit court
Manage your own criminal law caseload
Contribute to strategic litigation and law reform
Mentor junior staff and be part of a passionate, diverse legal team
What We're Looking For
2–4 years PAE in criminal law
Strong courtroom experience in superior and summary courts
Understanding of the systemic issues impacting Aboriginal people in the justice system
Exceptional communication, cultural competency & resilience
Willingness to travel and work in regional NT
Admission (or eligibility) in the Northern Territory
Why Join NAAJA?
Competitive salary with salary packaging
6 weeks annual leave
Professional development opportunities
Be part of a purpose-driven, social justice organisation
Play a role in real justice reform
Be Part of Something Bigger
This is more than a job—it's a career with purpose. If you want to advocate for justice, challenge injustice, and support Aboriginal communities in the NT, apply now and help us drive lasting change.
