This is an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander-identified role under Section 12 (Special Measures) of the Equal Opportunity Act 2010. Only Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples are eligible to apply.
Are you concerned about environmental justice and want to use your legal skills to support First Nations communities fighting for Country and communities facing disproportionate environmental and climate harms? If you are a lawyer with litigation or legal advocacy experience, this is your unique prospect to make an important difference in environmental justice.
Alongside sound legal skills, the role requires a solid interest in and understanding of strategy and the role of public interest law in environmental change. The capacity and willingness to work closely with local communities, First Nations groups and NGOs are essential.
The position is an ongoing full time role, and a 0.8 work week will be considered.
Environmental Justice Australia strongly encourages Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples to apply. We are a culturally safe and inclusive environment, committed to continuously improve our cultural competency. In this identified role your cultural insights and lived experiences are highly valued and deeply respected.
We're committed to an accessible selection process. Please let us know if you'd like us to make adjustments to support your application process, e.g. requiring extra time, screen readers, providing accessible documents or sensory adjustments.
