Policy and Communications Coordinator

Community Legal Centres Australia

Community Legal Centres Australia is the peak organisation representing more than 160 community legal services in Australia, including community legal centres, women’s legal services, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander legal services and Family Violence Prevention Legal Services. Community legal services provide high-quality, free legal and related services to people and communities experiencing financial hardship or other barriers – such as violence, intersectional disadvantage, and discrimination. We help people and communities overcome the barriers they face and improve access to justice.

Our movement’s vision is for a fair and equitable society in which:

  • Justice systems and institutions are accessible to all, decolonised, and no longer criminalise poverty, disadvantage, or disability.
  • All members of our community have access to the power, tools and means to live safe, secure, and meaningful lives, free from discrimination, violence, exploitation, and abuse.
  • We respect and protect the rights of First Nations people and communities to land, language, culture, and self-determination.
  • We respect and protect the natural environment for current and future generations.

Our expertise is grounded in the stories of the 180 000 people who engage our sector’s services each year and who experience first-hand the barriers to accessing justice that exist in our legal systems. Our public advocacy ensures that their voices and experiences drive progressive systems reform.

We're looking for a self-motivated, flexible, and collaborative Policy and Communications Coordinator with a passion for social justice to join our Advocacy and Communications team.

The Policy and Communications Coordinator works with the Chief Executive Officer, Advocacy and Communications Manager and other staff, to deliver our national advocacy and law reform program and manage the organisation’s external communications across all service areas, including National Conference, accreditation, insurance, information and communications technology, and data.
