Defence is seeking an exceptional senior executive to fill the Chief Counsel position in its Associate Secretary Group. As the Chief Counsel, you are the principal legal advisor to senior leaders within Defence. You are the accountable authority for the delivery of legal services in Defence and will manage the staff, budget and resources of the Defence Legal Division.
Defence Legal Division has a dynamic and collegiate team. It is an integrated national in-house legal service consisting of approximately 150 permanent ADF lawyers, 150 APS legal officers and enablers and 380 Reserve legal officers across Australia and overseas. Defence Legal has one of the most diverse legal practices in the Commonwealth, with expertise in a range of law from operations and international law, to commercial and administrative law, to complex litigation and legislative reform.
The Chief Counsel operates in a complex environment that includes both corporate and military legal matters and is required to minimise and manage legal risk across all areas of Defence. The role advises at high levels on the most highly contentious, complex and politically sensitive legal matters, often with the concurrent requirement to negotiate conflicting views. The decisions made by the Chief Counsel can have government-wide, national or international impacts.
The Chief Counsel oversees and leads engagement with both internal and external stakeholders at senior levels within the private and public sectors. The role is required to proactively develop stakeholder relations across the APS and with external legal providers.
The ideal candidate will be a collaborative leader, exemplify the Defence Values and Behaviours , and engender a culture of innovation and agility. They will be self-aware, positive in considering and respecting a diversity of ideas and perspectives of others. They will demonstrate the capability to provide timely and accurate advice to senior leaders and Government on complex matters. They will have outstanding judgement, strategic awareness, and parliamentary and media acumen.
The primary role of Defence is to defend Australia against armed attack.
Australia's defence policy is founded on the principle of self-reliance in the direct defence of Australia, but with a capacity to do more where there are shared interests with partners and allies.
Strategic Direction
The Defence White Paper was released on 25 February 2016 together with an Integrated Investment Program and Defence Industry Policy Statement.
Defence White Papers are the Government's most important guidance about Australia's long-term defence capability. They provide an opportunity for the Government and community to understand the the opportunities and challenges for Australia's future defence and security needs.
The White Paper provides a strategy aligned with capability and resources to deliver a future force that is more capable, agile and potent and ready to respond to future challenges.
