Legal Aid is seeking suitably qualified and experienced lawyers for a range of positions in our growing Migration Unit within the Civil Justice Practice.

Migration lawyers provide advice and assistance primarily to refugees, and in relation to other humanitarian visas. We represent clients at the Department level, in the Migration and Refugee Division and General Division of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, with Ministerial requests and at Judicial Review.

Applicants should have demonstrated interest in, and excellent knowledge of, immigration and citizenship law, and a keen interest in working with refugees and asylum seeker communities.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment that offers variety, challenge and professional development – then we want to hear from you…apply now!

These positions will be required to work at our office location, due to the in-person nature of our legal work.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to include a statement of suitability against the selection criteria (max 2 pages) along with a current CV.

The successful applicant must have rights to live and work in this country. The successful candidate will be required to undergo a background check during the recruitment process, and an offer of employment is conditional on satisfactory results.
