Your role

The Policy, Reform and Legislation Branch sits within the Law Reform and Legal Services Division of the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ).

A Summer Clerkship with Policy, Reform and Legislation provides a unique opportunity to be involved in formulating government policy, law reform and Parliamentary practice.

Some of the tasks you may be expected to complete include preparing briefing notes for the Attorney General and other ministers, liaising with stakeholders, conducting research and analysis on proposed Bills or policy reform, writing speeches, attending meetings and drafting correspondence.

Applicants will be given the opportunity to express a preference as to rotation through the following teams:

It is also responsible for specific projects relating to Closing the Gap, digital reform in courts, children and young people, and mental health and cognitive impairment.

Civil Justice, Vulnerable Communities, and Inclusion Team:
CJVCI undertake research, draft legal policy advice and develop legislative and non-legislative projects relating to the civil justice system, including discrimination and guardianship law and provide support for the legislative program for the Attorney General.

Courts, Access to Justice and Regulatory Team:
The team works on a wide variety of policy and reform areas including courts and tribunals, criminal and civil procedures, specialist jurisdictions (e.g., the Walama List, Drug Court and coronial jurisdiction), privacy and new technologies, how the legal profession is regulated and strategy and funding around the legal assistance sector.

What we’re looking for
