Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Immigration Lawyer will manage a diverse caseload of migration and citizenship matters, providing strategic legal advice and preparing applications. They will also contribute to stakeholder engagement, community education, and the overall growth of the legal practice.
Candidates must have 1–3 years of post-admission experience with a solid foundation in Australian migration law. Strong legal research, communication, and file management skills are essential, along with a commitment to ethical, client-centred practice.
Location: Carlton, Victoria
Employment: Full-time, 12-month fixed-term contract (maternity leave position)
Salary: $80,000 – $100,000 per annum
Potential for ongoing employment following the initial contract period
You'll join a growing boutique migration law practice that combines high-quality legal work with genuine social impact — while being part of a commercially sustainable legal business.
SSI Legal is the social enterprise legal practice of Settlement Services International (SSI). We provide strategic immigration and citizenship legal advice to individuals, families, employers and community organisations across Australia and internationally.
Our practice is growing, and we're looking for an Immigration Lawyer with 1–3 years' post-admission experience to join our team in Carlton.
This is a maternity leave backfill role for an initial 12-month period, with the possibility of ongoing employment following the contract.
This role is ideal for an early-career migration lawyer who has developed a solid foundation in Australian migration law and is ready to take greater ownership of their matters while continuing to develop their technical and professional skills.
You'll work closely with experienced migration lawyers and the Principal Lawyer, managing your own matters with appropriate supervision and support.
Our work is broad and often complex. While you'll have particularly strong exposure to skilled migration, employer-sponsored migration and family migration, you'll also have the opportunity to work across:
You'll work directly with clients, undertake legal research and analysis, prepare applications and submissions, and provide practical, strategic legal advice.
You'll also have the opportunity to contribute beyond individual client matters through stakeholder engagement, community education, professional development and the continued growth of SSI Legal.
We're looking for someone who is technically capable, commercially minded and genuinely interested in developing their career in migration law.
You'll bring:
Experience with Administrative Review Tribunal matters, judicial review, a broader range of migration matters, business development, stakeholder engagement or professional networks will be highly regarded but not essential.
We're particularly interested in candidates who are looking to develop both their technical expertise and commercial capability as migration lawyers.
