Victoria Legal Aid (VLA) is a statutory authority established under the Legal Aid Act 1978 (Vic) responsible for providing information, advice, and assistance in response to a broad range of legal and non-legal problems.
VLA provides statewide assistance to people every day and night in courts and tribunals in Victoria across both federal and state jurisdictions.
VLA's values are fairness, care, courage, and inclusion, and we seek to fulfil our role in line with these values.
VLA recognises the intersections between legal and social issues and works for change to increase access to justice.
VLA's Criminal Law Directorate is responsible for the delivery of services across five sub-programs: summary crime, therapeutic justice, indictable crime, youth crime, and appeals and strategic litigation.
About the role
The Director, Summary Crime and Therapeutic Justice is a key role within Victoria Legal Aid (VLA)'s Criminal Law directorate, and a member of VLA's Senior Leadership Team.
This role leads the Summary Crime program, the organisation's largest service delivery area covering criminal law services in Magistrates Courts across Victoria, and the Therapeutic Justice program, which covers our services in specialist and therapeutic courts across the state as well as broader work to embed therapeutic jurisprudence into our service delivery across criminal law.
Reporting to the Executive Director, Criminal Law, this role provides high-quality leadership in the planning, design, delivery, and transformation of VLA's Summary Crime and Therapeutic Justice services while developing and maintaining strong working relationships with key stakeholders in the legal assistance and criminal justice sectors.
The Director's current key priorities are to:
Lead service transformation work including embedding lived experience expertise into our work, growing our Help Before Court service, and improving our remand services.
Lead the expansion of our Therapeutic Justice program, including embedding therapeutic, restorative, and problem-solving approaches into VLA's service delivery.
Use VLA's practice experience to influence change to promote access to justice.
About you

Tertiary qualified in law, public policy, or a related field, you possess a detailed understanding of criminal law, focusing on summary crime and therapeutic or problem-solving practice.
With a proven ability to develop and maintain relationships with diverse stakeholders in complex, client-first service delivery contexts, you are committed to VLA's vision and values focused on a fair and just society and making a difference in the lives of clients and the community.
You have a demonstrated understanding of the issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
