You’ll be placed in a regional community that doesn’t have enough solicitors to meet the community’s legal aid needs. This will be a demanding and challenging role, but the rewards will be far greater. This is a community that genuinely needs your help and for many people, you’ll be their only voice in the justice system, making you a valued and respected community member.
Yes, there will be a difference between the life you would lead working for a large Brisbane-based law firm compared with life working in a smaller firm in a regional community. But why not make a real difference, while enjoying all that regional Queensland has to offer!
