Work with us

Work somewhere your career and your values don’t compete.

We are a team of talented, passionate women who believe the law can be a powerful force for change.

Every day, we help women through the hardest times of their lives, while improving laws, systems and institutions that shape their experiences.

This is a place where you can develop specialist expertise, tackle complex and rewarding work, and build a career you’re proud of.

Why people choose Women's Legal

Purpose and connection

People join us because they want work with purpose, but they stay because they find more. 

They find colleagues who are generous with their knowledge and genuinely invested in each other’s success. They find a workplace that values curiosity, innovation and continuous improvement. 

Most importantly, they find the opportunity to build a career that reflects who they are and what they believe.

We don’t believe you should have to choose between professional excellence and social justice. We believe the greatest impact comes from people who pursue both.

More than individual impact

Every woman who contacts us has her own story. By helping one woman navigate the legal system, secure safety, protect her rights or rebuild her economic security, we can change the course of her life.

We don’t stop there. We use what we learn to identify patterns, challenge systemic barriers and advocate for lasting reform. Through strategic litigation, law reform, education, policy and advocacy, we work to improve the laws, systems and institutions that affect women across New South Wales.

Individual lives matter. Systemic change matters. Our work is about achieving both.

A place to grow

Women’s Legal is growing, evolving and investing in the future.

As one of Australia’s leading specialist feminist legal organisations, we’re building expertise internally and across the broader legal and community sectors.

Whether you’re starting your career or bringing years of experience, you’ll have opportunities to deepen your expertise and learn from recognised leaders in their fields.

We invest in our people because we know that when our people thrive, women thrive.

Strategy

We focus our effort where it can have the greatest impact. 

Collaboration

We share knowledge generously, work across disciplines and build strong partnerships.

Empathy

We listen without judgement, respond with compassion and create an environment where others feel heard.

Is Women’s Legal right for you?

We’re looking for women who are curious, collaborative and committed to making a difference. Women who are willing to ask difficult questions, challenge themselves and continue learning and who value excellence as much as empathy. Women who want to build their careers while contributing to something bigger than themselves.

Experience matters. Expertise matters. But so do kindness, integrity and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of women.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
