Legal Counsel / ER Specialist - Remote or Hybrid
At Source, part of the HPX Group – innovators, disruptors, and market leaders in Legal and Risk professional services, we have six offices across Australia and New Zealand (with a growing remote team) and have been helping businesses navigate risk and thrive for over 15 years.
Our 120+ experts work across legal, risk, HR and compliance disciplines, partnering with clients through flexible models – from retainers to project work, consulting and training. With industry‑leading Net Promoter and Net Confidence Scores, our clients trust us to deliver results differently.

The Role
Partner directly with HR teams, business leaders and clients across Australia to advise on the full range of employment and safety law matters – from complex terminations and investigations to compliance, restructures and workplace disputes.
Deliver practical, commercial and people‑focused advice that helps clients make confident decisions, and support the growth of our employee relations function by designing and implementing best‑practice frameworks, conducting investigations and complaint‑management procedures, training and proactive risk‑management strategies.
This role can be performed remotely or from any of our offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, or Newcastle, or a combination of both.
