Not only do you get to work in legal areas such as Family Law, FVROs, Child Protection, Criminal Injuries Compensation, etc., but you are supported by non-legal teams (Family Advocates, Community Engagement Workers) to offer more complete support. This means you’re not just treating symptoms, but helping clients navigate systems, address safety, emotional, financial, housing or social issues as part of what we do.

AFLS doesn’t just respond to incidents; we try to prevent them. Our Community Education Programs build awareness of family violence, healthy relationships, legal rights, etc. Staff get to deliver workshops, work in local and remote communities, and see first-hand the difference early intervention makes.

Being part of regional teams (Broome, Kalgoorlie, Port Hedland, etc.) or working remotely offers not just professional diversity, but life diversity. You get to experience community connection, Indigenous culture, connection to land, and be part of forging change in places that truly need it.

AFLS invests in its people: training in cultural awareness and trauma, supporting staff to build their skills across legal practice and community outreach, working with multi-disciplinary teams, dealing with challenging but meaningful cases. Also, internal support structures (EAP, counsellors, etc.) help staff wellbeing.

• AFLS is funded under the Family Violence Prevention Legal Service (FVPLS) program by the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) and supported by philanthropic, corporate, and governmental partners.
• The organisation is growing: new permanent headquarters in Perth; expanding outreach; strong reputation. Working here connects you to meaningful networks.
