About the organisation
An exciting opportunity has arisen to play an important role in one of Australia’s most successful public interest and social justice organisations. Justice Connect is a not-for-profit organisation with a vision of a fair and strong community in which people have a fair chance at a better life, the community sector is strong and vibrant and the legal/justice and non-legal social systems are fairer and better.
At Justice Connect, we believe everyone deserves a fair chance at a better life. Too often, our legal system is complicated, expensive and inaccessible. And when the system doesn’t work for everyone, it works for no one. It holds our community back. That’s why we use the law to help people and community groups left behind by an unfair and complicated legal system. Whether it’s a single mother facing homelessness, a local community group struggling with overwhelming regulation or an older person dealing with family violence, real-life problems so often have legal solutions. That’s why we connect people with legal help. We use the power of the law to open up the legal system for those locked out of it, and to change the system where it is broken.
The key to our impact is the passionate commitment of our people. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, driven by a desire to deliver real improvements in the lives of the people and communities we help.
Justice Connect is a leader in digital innovation in access to justice in Australia, with a reputation for pioneering digital self-help products to assist people and community groups with unmet legal need. Undertaking some of the most cutting edge work at the intersection of justice and technology, we are working on a range of projects to scale our impact and improve the experience of people seeking legal help.
This exciting new role is part of Justice Connect’s Not-for-profit Law team, providing Australia’s only dedicated community legal services for not-for-profits. Not-for-profit Law’s acclaimed self-help website (www.nfplaw.org.au) has over 300 legal resources and is the foundation of the program’s service delivery model. We also offer legal advice and educational services to organisations across Australia, and advocate for improved standards and legal frameworks for the Australian not-for-profit sector. We run a certified legal training social enterprise and deliver a dedicated service for Local Aboriginal Land Councils in NSW.
