- Maintain strong inter-agency and intra-office relationships, ensuring culturally appropriate client representation.
- Stay updated on legal developments, ensure ethical practice, and contribute to law reform and policy discussions.

A highly skilled and motivated individual with a thorough understanding of the cultural, social, and historical needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. You will be able to demonstrate:

- Hold legal qualifications and NSW Practising Certificate with a minimum of 2 years' experience in criminal law and strong advocacy skills.
