about us

Marrickville Legal Centre offers free legal advice and assistance to the community of the inner-west, south-west, southern suburbs of Sydney, and beyond. There are over 2 million people living in our key catchment: that’s 30 percent of Sydney’s total population. Marrickville Legal Centre solicitors provide access to justice through the provision of legal services, law reform and community legal education, particularly for people who are disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances.

Marrickville Legal Centre is committed to creating a supporting and adaptable work environment. We offer a range of employee benefits such as flexible working arrangements, salary packaging options, and generous leave policies including extended Christmas leave of 10 days and cultural leave. We are also a pet-friendly workplace, with many four-legged friends to hang out with in the office. 

This position is specifically for the provision of legal services (legal advice, casework, and representation) in the area of family law, prioritising individuals who have been affected by domestic and family violence.

The essential skills of the role are set out in the attached Position Description. Sound knowledge of legislation relating to family law, Legally Assisted Mediations and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia is essential.

This position is for 35 hours per week on a part time, permanent basis.
