About Legal Aid NSW
We stand beside people when they need it most.
At Legal Aid NSW, fairness isn’t just a legal principle, it shapes everything we do - our culture, our services, our workplace and our decisions.
Since 1979, Legal Aid NSW has provided legal advice, support and representation in criminal, family and civil law, helping people across NSW navigate hardship and complex legal issues. Our work is challenging, but deeply meaningful.
In partnerships with LawAccess NSW, Community Legal Centres and the Aboriginal Legal Service NSW/ACT, we are located throughout the state including our Central Sydney office, 25 regional offices, and satellite and outreach offices.
About the Role
Join the LawAccess NSW team at Legal Aid NSW and use your admin and digital skills to support projects that help people access important legal information and services. In this hands-on role, you’ll provide day-to-day support to project managers and the team - managing enquiries, updating online content, and helping keep projects and operations running smoothly. It’s a great opportunity for someone organised, adaptable and keen to contribute to meaningful work that makes a real difference.
About You
You’re someone who gets things done without needing constant direction, but also enjoys being part of a team. You are naturally curious, like to learn new things, and are not afraid to jump in and figure things out. You enjoy solving problems and thinking about how things could work better, especially when it comes to improving processes or the customer experience. You’re comfortable speaking with a range of people, stay organised, and take pride in doing your work well.
You Belong Here
Here, every role has purpose.
Whether you’re delivering frontline legal services or strengthening our organisation from behind the scenes, you’ll help create fairer outcomes for the people across NSW.
We’re building a workplace where every culture, identity, ability and voice are included and valued. We welcome Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with visible and invisible disability, culturally diverse communities, and LGBTQI+ communities so you can connect and flourish at every stage of career.
You will be part of a diverse and inclusive organisation, working alongside like-minded and values driven people dedicated to justice, community impact, and delivering exceptional support and service through cross collaboration.
