CanberraCanberra, the capital of Australia, is the perfect place for lawyers who are seeking a diverse range of interesting and high profile work matched with a low key and relaxed lifestyle.
Canberra is located approximately two hours inland from the coast, between Sydney and Melbourne. As it is close to the coast and the Snowy Mountains it is ideally located for those who love the beach in the summer and skiing in the winter.
Many national firms have offices located in Canberra, and being the capital of Australia, there is an opportunity to get heavily involved with government work. Canberra firms are always on the lookout for good quality lawyers with strong corporate/commercial backgrounds, either obtained nationally or internationally.
Salaries vary across states and generally correspond to the cost of living in a particular city. See our Survey for further information about current market salaries.
Accommodation and TransportCanberra accommodation can best be described as generous. From apartment living in the heart of Canberra to living in the suburbs, accommodation is relatively new and spacious.
Canberra has one of the best transport systems Australia has to offer with public infrastructure being second to none. A relatively flat city, people also often cycle to and from work. It is easy to get around not only within the city and suburbs of Canberra but also when exiting the city to go and explore the coast or the Snowy Mountains.
After HoursCanberra is well known for providing its residents with a quality lifestyle at an affordable cost. It is an ideal place in which to raise a family, particularly with all the available sporting activities such as riding bikes or walking in the amazing national parks that surround Canberra.
For those people who love art, you can become a member of the National Gallery of Australia and enjoy browsing through the vast array of art and exhibitions. For those who enjoy great food, Canberra has many delicious restaurants to try and many pubs and clubs to socialise in.
With all Canberra has to offer in terms of great career opportunities and lifestyle, it is definitely worth keeping on the radar.
