This is an Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander identified position which is a genuine occupational qualification and is authorised under section 14(d) of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977.
The Aboriginal Legal Service (ALS) was established in a critical act of self-determination over 50 years ago as part of the Aboriginal rights protest movement. We provide high-quality, culturally safe legal and support services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people throughout NSW and the ACT, and fight for social justice and equity for our communities.
Your Impact:
As a valued member of the Criminal Law Practice, you’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality, culturally appropriate legal support to Aboriginal clients.

- Liaise with Police, courts, solicitors, Corrective Services and other stakeholders to support effective communication and service delivery.
- Manage reception, phone enquiries, correspondence, document preparation and secretarial support for Criminal Law Solicitors.
- Maintain professional office operations, including equipment, records, communications and a welcoming environment for clients.
- Provide culturally appropriate client support, referrals and assistance with non-court matters, including the fortnightly civil clinic.
- Work collaboratively and ethically, respecting Aboriginal cultural practices and complying with ALS policies, WHS requirements and service standards.
Your Story & Strengths:
With respect and pride, you’ll walk alongside community, with a deep understanding of cultural, social, and historical needs. You’re committed to standing up for justice, supporting mob with care, and helping reduce cultural load and bring these values and strengths:
- Be a proud Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person, recognised by your community.
- Commitment to social justice and the ability to work in a culturally safe, respectful and appropriate manner.
- Strong computer literacy across Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and Outlook, with accurate typing skills of at least 35 wpm.
