Career FAQs

All our vacancies are advertised on SEEK. If you find a job you’re interested in, click ‘Apply’.

You will need a covering letter addressing the key selection criteria and a current CV to apply for the role.

What does your recruitment process look like?

People and Culture manages the recruitment process from beginning to end.

For most positions, we begin with a telephone conversation. If there’s interest on both sides, we invite the candidate for a first interview. If you have a successful first interview, you may be invited to a second interview. Not all positions require two interviews and not all interviews are held face to face. Depending on availability, some interviews may be held via Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

Upon completion of the interview stage and the relevant pre-employment screening, a member of the team will be in touch with you.

Any tips for the interview?

It’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with your CV and prepare examples of your key achievements. You could also familiarise yourself with our website and our values. Identifying with our values will assist you during the interview process and will give you a clearer understanding of what it’s like to work here.

Most importantly, relax with us. We want you to be yourself and feel comfortable during the interview process. You may meet more than one or two people. Ask questions. Be curious. We are authentic people with a genuine interest in you.

How long do you take to make a decision after an interview?

We try to make a decision within a week of the final interview.

What is your dress code?

At Law Compliance we dress for our day. Please wear what makes you feel professional and comfortable.

Do you offer flexible working arrangements?

Yes. Health Legal enjoys the benefits of a hybrid workforce. Our people have varied priorities outside of work and achieving a true work/life balance means being open to different arrangements.

We trust our teams to make the right decisions for our people and our clients.

Do you promote diversity and inclusion?

Having a workforce that reflects our values is essential to Health Legal. We want to attract and retain people of all genders, ages, religions, disability, sexual orientation, family and caring responsibilities, and cultures including people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage. If you are interested in a position, we encourage you to apply as we celebrate the benefit that diversity brings to our business.

Hear from some of our people

It’s about the people you work with. I work with talented, experienced, and kind colleagues, and I am ever learning and improving. Our work in the health sector requires us to stay on top of frequent changes in regulatory frameworks, and our clients provide a wide range of work. This always keeps our work interesting, and I value the proactive way our team tackles changes in the sector and shares knowledge.

I greatly value the diverse and challenging work available at Health Legal. The legal issues arising in the health sector arise in all kinds of areas of law – including consent, privacy, therapeutic goods regulation and sometimes even family law. This diversity means that the work is always interesting. We also do more than just health law! Because of Health Legal’s legislative compliance business – Law Compliance – we also receive work from other kinds of entities because of our expertise in statutory interpretation and policy preparation. I also value the flexibility on offer at Health Legal. I am able to work 4 days a week so that I can balance my family and work responsibilities and was a key reason that I returned to Health Legal after some years working elsewhere.

I really value the culture! Health Legal is different to other more traditional law firms. Our solicitors don’t have billable targets and we offer a truly flexible and supportive working environment that encourages a healthy work-life balance. We also service such a variety of clients. For example, in just one day a solicitor could be preparing advice for a major ASX-listed company on its privacy requirements, researching helicopter landing sites for a public health service, and also helping a local charity comply with its animal welfare obligations.
