Legal Aid Queensland is an independent statutory authority funded by the state and federal governments. Legal Aid Queensland’s vision is to be a leader in a fair justice system where people are able to understand and protect their legal rights. Our purpose is to provide quality, cost effective legal services to financially disadvantaged people throughout Queensland.

Our Family Law Services division gives legal help and support to children and adults experiencing family law issues including child protection, child support and maintenance, parenting issues, domestic and family violence, and divorce and property settlement. Where possible, we encourage people to resolve their problems without going to court by using our dispute resolution services. From helping children have a voice in the legal system through our separate representatives and independent children’s lawyers, to representing people with complex disputes before the family law courts, this division plays an integral role in helping Queenslanders resolve their family law problems.

As a social worker/psychologist at Legal Aid Queensland your primary role will be the forensic assessment of families before the Family Court of Australia, the Federal Circuit Court of Australia, or the Children’s Court; with a further opportunity to conduct family dispute resolution conferences, if you are appropriately qualified. The role enables you to use your skills to critically assess and analyse the best interests of children and families, and to apply these skills within a legal setting. The role also offers the opportunity to assist with the professional development of others and to contribute to improvements to the legal aid and justice systems.
