About Us
The Department of Government Services (DGS) was established on 1 January 2023 to improve everyone's experience of doing business and interacting with the Victorian government. We bring important day-to-day services together in one department to make things easy and seamless for Victorians and businesses. We are doing this by connecting and digitising our systems and platforms across state and local government as well as streamlining our corporate and procurement services.

Office of the General Counsel (OGC)

OGC is part of DGS’ Organisational Strategy, Governance and Performance Group. OGC navigates legal and policy challenges with technically outstanding legal advice and practical, evidence-based solutions.

We provide high profile legal advice at the centre of Government in relation to public law, regulatory, corporate, commercial, contracting and procurement issues, and performs an in-house legal advice function for the Department’s internal operations.

OGC was also for In-House Team of the Year at the 2025 Australian Law Awards – recognition of OGC’s commitment to delivering expert legal advice to DGS.

About the Role
Reporting to the General Manager, Senior Solicitors play a key role in successfully enforcing Australian and Victorian consumer law and providing regulatory advice to DGS more broadly.

This Senior Solicitor role provides advice on regulatory matters, including advice about whether there is sufficient evidence to support regulatory action and managing litigation on DGS’s behalf.

Senior Solicitors within the Consumer Affairs Victoria (CAV) Legal team in OGC provide legal support across CAV but primarily to the Regulatory Services Division, as well as provide advice and assistance to DGS’s other regulatory functions. CAV’s Regulatory Services Division investigates allegations of breaches of a variety of legislation, including the Residential Tenancies Act 1997, the Estate Agents Act 1980 and the Australian Consumer Law.

Senior Solicitors provide specialist legal advice to CAV investigators and DGS prior to and during the course of investigations, preparation of legal briefs and materials to assist in the successful prosecution of defendants and by appearing and conducting litigation in all jurisdictions. Appearance work in these forums is also a key and interesting part of the position.

About You
To be considered for the role, you must be able to demonstrate:

Demonstrated experience in prosecuting or litigating complex and sensitive criminal and/or civil law cases in a range of jurisdictions.
Experience managing legal work in a complex environment including liaison with senior stakeholders, investigators and other state and federal bodies.
Experience in supporting investigations, including preparing complex civil and/or criminal litigation matters and experience or aptitude in appearance in a range of courts and tribunals
Strong stakeholder management skills and demonstrated ability to develop and direct innovative responses to new and emerging issues.

Mandatory Requirements

You must be admitted to practice as an Australian lawyer and eligible to hold a Victorian practising certificate. Unrestricted practising certificates will be preferred but not essential.

This role is a fixed term position available until 29 January 2027. This position is only open to applicants with relevant rights to work in Australia.

For more information, please see the Position Description.

How to apply:
Apply before the advertised closing date 11:59pm on Wednesday, 17 June 2026. All applications should include:

a resume; and
a cover letter which addresses the key selection criteria (within three pages).

Other relevant information:
To be eligible for appointment to this role, applicants will possess corresponding work rights for the advertised employment period. Appointment to an ongoing role is only available to an Australian/New Zealand citizen or an Australian Permanent Resident. Preferred candidates will be required to complete a Pre-employment Declaration and Consent Form. Employment of successful candidates will be subject to a National Police Check.
