About us

The department is also one of Victoria's biggest employers, with approximately 80,000 teaching staff and around 5,000 public service employees.

The Legal Division provides highly valued legal services to support the delivery of the department's strategic objectives, key reforms and to manage legal risk.

The role will also assist with the department's response to the National Redress Scheme.

The successful candidate will have legal knowledge of tort law (common law and Wrongs Act) and/or experience in negligence litigation claims including in relation to duty of care and risk management, as well as some understanding of current child safety reporting.
