This is an opportunity to advance your career and/or gain experience working in the Australia Public Service, working with high profile stakeholders. 

The Commercial Law team, which includes a general commercial law function, provides a broad range of legal services to the Department (including to support the delivery of major projects such as Western Sydney Airport, Moorebank Intermodal Freight Terminal and WestConnex).
