Why work regionally
Working in a regional chamber offers diverse legal experience across a wide range of matters — ideal whether you're building your foundation or expanding your leadership skills.
Many of our consultant crown prosecutors began their careers in regional Queensland, gaining fast-tracked experience and stronger community connection.
What regional work offers:
- Broader exposure to criminal matters
- Direct impact on regional communities
- Supportive team culture
- Work-life balance perks — including five weeks of annual leave (or 10 weeks at half pay) in Cairns and Townsville
