ABOUT NAAJA

The North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency Ltd (NAAJA) provides legal assistance and justice services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Northern Territory. We have offices in Darwin, Palmerston, Katherine, Tennant Creek and Alice Springs. We are recognised as a leading legal service and have received national and local human rights and crime prevention awards for our work.

NAAJA’s legal practice is the largest in the Northern Territory, providing high quality, culturally proficient and accessible advice, casework and court advocacy in both criminal and civil law. NAAJA particularly seeks to achieve social justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through strategic litigation, law reform and education.

OBJECTIVES OF THE POSITION

NAAJA requires a person with excellent telephone and interpersonal skills, cultural awareness, as well as understanding and patience to deal with a wide range of people to join our Katherine Office. The reception area can be extremely busy in peak times, and other times the position requires a self-motivated person who will make the best use of their time by performing administrative tasks.

The work requires high levels of motivation, energy and a commitment to professional excellence.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are encouraged to apply.
