Location Burnie

ORGANISATONAL OVERVIEW

Women’s Legal Service Tasmania (WLST) provides a statewide community legal service for women in Tasmania,
providing legal advice and information about legal and non-legal options through a dedicated telephone advice line, as
well as face to face appointments, community legal education, outreach, drafting of law reform submissions and
referrals to appropriate support services. Our clients are also supported by in-house financial counselling and social
work services. WLST operates from three offices in Hobart, Launceston, and Burnie.

WLST is a community legal service funded by the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department in recognition that
in addition to the general legal problems that can affect everyone, there are some areas of law in which a woman’s
experience is different – as a victim of a crime, as a primary carer of children, or through discrimination or lack of
equal opportunity in employment or business.

Some women also face additional barriers in accessing justice due to factors such as cost, childcare responsibilities,
and feelings of intimidation in going to Court or dealing with a male dominated legal profession and judiciary. Our work
focuses on the needs of vulnerable women who often have experienced family violence, sexual abuse, child sexual
abuse and or other forms of discrimination or abuse. We understand that this is challenging work, and we offer staff a
supportive environment that aims to maintain their resilience. Other issues such as language barriers, cultural
backgrounds, disability, sexuality, or geographical isolation can compound to make access to a legal service
intimidating and difficult. Workers at WLST are sensitive to the diverse needs of women as individuals and as a part of
the community.

WLST’s mission is to promote justice, equality, and safety for women, particularly those who are disadvantaged or
facing discrimination. WLST also auspice a Working Women’s Centre.

WLST is committed to protecting children, young people and other vulnerable people from harm and will require
completion of screening checks prior to finalising employment.

POSITION OBJECTIVE

Under the supervision of the Assistant Principal Solicitor, the Solicitor will provide a high level of supportive, plain
language legal advice, information and referral to women who contact the telephone legal advice line. Where
appropriate, the provision of face-to-face advice, preparation of written documents and correspondence, and ongoing
representation will be undertaken. A large percentage of calls received by WLST relate to family law issues, however,
calls can relate to any area of the law, and as such a commitment to professional development is important.
The Burnie and Launceston offices were established under the Australian Government Women’s Safety Package, and
function as a specialist domestic violence unit (DVU) to assist women and their families impacted by or experiencing
family and domestic violence.
The provision of community legal education (CLE) workshops, drafting of law reform and lobbying submissions, along
with organisational and administrative responsibilities are also a component of this position.
Some intrastate travel may be required from time to time.
A full-time employee, the normal hours of work will be 38 hours per week, between 9:00am and 5:06pm, inclusive of a
30-minute lunch break.
