The Department of Justice and Community Safety (the department) is now recruiting interns to work over the summer university break for three months on full-time paid placements.

The roles are based at its head office in the Melbourne CBD; however remote work (working from home) may be required.

Please note that part time hours may be considered.

Perfect for students undertaking the penultimate year of a law or justice related degree (e.g. criminology), this is a rare opportunity to experience a compelling side of the legal profession outside private practice.

The department's interns will enjoy exposure to policy development, legal advice and high-profile public litigation, legislation creation and cabinet processes.

Your contribution as an intern will aid in the development of advice provided to the Attorney-General and other justice ministers and contribute to exciting civil and criminal law reforms and policy projects.

We need people with a strong work ethic who want to follow a research challenge through to the end.

You will be rewarded with a generous intern wage and a chance to learn about government law creation from the inside.

To be eligible for the program you must:

be an Australian citizen, Permanent Resident of Australia or a New Zealand citizen.

- be in your penultimate (second last) year of a law qualification (either undergraduate degree or Juris Doctor/masters) or justice-related qualification (e.g. criminology).
- be available to commence work on Monday 27 November 2023

Our intern recruitment process:

Stage 2: Behavioural interview.
Stage 4: Job offer.

Applications close at midnight, Sunday 27 August 2023.
