Are you a lawyer with a passion for environmental justice? You can help the lives of thousands of Australians by contributing to a key area of our work.

Our clean air program aims to reduce the harmful impacts of pollution on local communities and to significantly improve air pollution regulation for the benefit of people and the environment. The program works across NSW, Victoria and Queensland.

Working with a small collaborative and multidisciplinary team, you will manage the team’s legal advice and law reform projects and develop strategies to improve the regulation of pollution. Some litigation may be involved if you have litigation experience. The capacity and willingness to work closely with local communities and NGOs is essential.

You must have at least 5 years' post-graduation legal experience and be admitted to practice or eligible for admission to practice in Australia.

This is a full-time fixed-term position for 12 months (part time would be considered for the right candidate), with the likelihood of extension beyond this date. The position can be based in Victoria, NSW or Queensland.

Environmental Justice Australia is an equal opportunity employer. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, women, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTQI people and people with a disability are encouraged to apply.
