Published: 11 days ago
Join one of Australia’s most respected and fastest-growing national law firms, recognised for its excellence, collaborative culture, and strong values-driven approach.

We’re delighted to be partnering with this standout firm to recruit an experienced Health Associate or Senior Associate to join its Brisbane team. This is a rare opportunity to work closely with highly regarded partners in a genuinely supportive, high-performing environment.

The Opportunity
Based in the firm’s brand-new Brisbane CBD office, you’ll be involved in a diverse and sophisticated mix of civil litigation and health law matters, including:
  • Regulatory and disciplinary investigations and hearings (AHPRA, OHO, Coroner)
  • Medical indemnity disputes
  • Professional college and training investigations
  • Private hospital credentialing and accreditation matters
  • Statutory investigations, clinical reviews, and Commissions of Inquiry
  • QCAT and other regulatory proceedings
A key point of difference is that this team operates outside of the firm’s insurance practice, offering a more specialised and focused pathway for those looking to build a long-term career in health law.

You’ll advise a broad client base including leading medical defence organisations, doctors and allied health professionals, private hospitals, and commercial health insurers.

About You
You will bring:
  • 4+ years’ PAE (Associate to Senior Associate level)
  • Experience in health, medical indemnity, professional indemnity, insurance, and/or regulatory matters
  • A genuine interest in developing your career in health law
  • Strong technical ability, paired with a collaborative and proactive mindset
Why This Role Stands Out

The firm offers a clear, merit-based progression pathway without overly hierarchical structures, ensuring your contributions are recognised and your development is actively supported.
Additional benefits include:
  • Flexible working: Hybrid model (3 days in-office, 2 from home), with team-level flexibility
  • Performance bonuses: Transparent and achievable bonus structure
  • Parental leave: 26 weeks’ paid leave after just 6 months’ service
  • Culture: Inclusive, down-to-earth, and social, with wellbeing initiatives, sports clubs, and regular firm events
Why Work With Law Staff:
 At Law Staff, we’re here to help you make informed career decisions. We’ll provide a detailed brief on this role and others that may align with your goals. Our discussions are always confidential, transparent, and relaxed  - whether that’s over the phone, video call, or coffee.

Even if this role isn’t quite what you’re looking for, we’d still love to connect. We regularly work on unadvertised opportunities across private practice and in-house.

Please note, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
