  • Prepare bills for clients
  • Any other generalist administrative tasks as requested

You will have experience in document preparation and formatting skills and enjoy working in a busy and thriving team that makes a difference to ordinary people.

    The experience we are looking for 

  • Prior administrative experience is desirable
  • Excellent organisational and time management skills including the ability to multi-task, prioritise and work under pressure to meet deadlines
  • The ability to work autonomously as well as part of a team
  • High attention to detail, especially in preparing documents and correspondence
  • Excellent and tactful communication skills (verbal, written and interpersonal)
  • Good problem solving skills
  • Proficiency with the Microsoft Office suite including Excel
  • Our People Commitment comes with the following benefits:

  • Ongoing coaching and career development opportunities 
  • 22 Weeks Parental leave with your superannuation guaranteed and back-to-work transition policy
  • End of Year leave, 1 day first year, 4 days after 2 years
  • Comprehensive mental health framework, including wellbeing leave (up to 4 extra days per year) and $299 reimbursement
  • Discounted gym membership
  • A hybrid flex working model
  • Salary Continuance & Life Insurance
  • 17.5% Annual Leave Loading
  • … just to name a few. *T's & C's apply

    Our shared values represent what we stand for and guide how we act, with Courage; Compassion; Collaboration; Fairness and Tenacity.

    We love that you have a life outside of work and we’re happy to support yours. We provide you a safe, supportive and collaborative environment, backed by inclusive leaders and progressive people policies, where you can be your authentic self and thrive. Here we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture, enriched by differences in ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, religion, age and family arrangements. Applications from First Nations People are encouraged.

    Are you ready to join us on a journey to extend access to justice to more Australians, in an organisation and role in which every action you take makes a difference? Apply now.

    Our Circle Back Initiative partnership means we’re committed to responding to every applicant.
