Your New Organisation Our client is one of the Queensland's largest community legal services with over 70 permanent employees and circa 200 volunteers who passionately support everything the organisation stands for.
Your New Role If you are a lawyer currently practising in Melbourne (or elsewhere) and considering a move to Queensland, this is an excellent opportunity to bring your family law and legal centre experience to a progressive, values-driven organisation where your skills will have real impact.
There are four key positions available across multiple sites, offering the chance to combine a career move with lifestyle advantages while contributing meaningfully to the community:
- Casework Solicitor (Annerley) - Provide advice, advocacy, and representation to clients in family law, domestic violence, and child protection, working directly on complex and meaningful matters.
- Supervising Solicitor (Annerley) - Lead and mentor a passionate team of lawyers and support staff, managing caseloads and providing guidance while also maintaining your own practice.
- Family Lawyer (Domestic Violence/Migration) (Brisbane City) - Deliver vital legal services to clients experiencing family violence, with the opportunity to also advise and represent clients in migration-related matters.
- Family Lawyer - RRR Team (Remote, Regional, and Rural) - Be part of a team dedicated to increasing access to justice for clients in remote, regional, and rural communities, combining case work, outreach, and advocacy.
Across all roles, you will be part of a supportive and mission-driven workplace where your expertise will make a tangible difference in the lives of women and families. You will engage in direct client services, provide case work and representation, and where applicable, appear in court to advocate on behalf of clients.
Please note: Opportunities are available across multiple sites, including Gold Coast, Brisbane City, and Annerley.
Culture & Benefits In addition to a workplace culture that many desire, you will also enjoy other benefits which include:
- No billable hours or business development/marketing

- Flexible working arrangements where working from home 1-2 days per week may be accommodated dependent upon court schedules and WFH policy;
