MelbourneMelbourne is recognised as Australia’s most livable city. Its restaurants are world class and the shopping is exception, no matter if you are looking for unique one off pieces or a high culture label. The arts scene in Melbourne is very strong, hosting many of Australia's pre-eminent festivals. Melbourne's European lifestyle and culture make it a highly attractive city for many people.
Hosting offices of all major national firms and a strong band of Victorian law firms, opportunities are strong for lawyers in private practice. Corporate head offices for many of Australia’s household name companies also offer excellent opportunities for lawyers seeking in-house roles.
The Melbourne market is competitive, and as such strong experience and academics from local and overseas lawyers are sought.
Salaries in Melbourne can be slightly lower than in Sydney, mainly due to a lower cost of living. Please see our Salary Survey for further information about current market salaries.
