Senior Legal Secretary – Personal Injury (Rockhampton or Brisbane)

Full-time | 8:30 am – 5:00 pm | Bowes Legal

Are you an experienced personal injury secretary looking for your next long-term home?

Bowes Legal is a boutique, fast-paced plaintiff personal injury firm with a reputation for excellence, efficiency, and heart. We're looking for a career secretary who thrives in a busy environment, takes pride in their work, and doesn't shy away from rolling up their sleeves to get things done.

About the Role

This is a full-time position supporting our Principal and Associates in managing plaintiff personal injury matters across Queensland. You'll be an integral part of a small, hands-on team where no job is beneath anyone — we all pitch in to keep things running smoothly.

You'll handle end-to-end file support including:

  • Managing client calls with professionalism and accurate file note recording
  • Preparing matters for conferences and mediations
  • Drafting and formatting affidavits, exhibits, and court documents
  • Preparing and collating briefs to counsel and experts
  • Booking and managing Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs)
  • Processing payments and managing invoices
  • Obtaining and organising medical and employment records
  • Maintaining meeting minutes and document management systems
  • General administrative and file management support

About You

To thrive in this role, you'll bring:

  • Significant experience in plaintiff personal injury law (essential)
  • A strong understanding of the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 (Qld), Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (Qld), and Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 (Qld)
  • Excellent communication, attention to detail and initiative
  • A proactive, adaptable mindset — you're the type who figures things out, not waits to be told
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment
  • A genuine team spirit and willingness to "get stuck in" when needed

Why Join Us

At Bowes Legal, you won't get lost in a large hierarchy. You'll be valued for your experience, trusted with autonomy, and surrounded by a small team that works hard, has fun, and supports one another. We're committed to building a workplace where you can stay long term and grow.

We welcome applications from candidates in Rockhampton and Brisbane — you'll be part of a connected, collaborative team regardless of location.
