Job DescriptionAs our Legal Counsel, you’ll work closely with the General Counsel to support the HCA business across a wide variety of legal and commercial matters — from healthcare and government contracts to projects spanning HR, IT, and marketing. This is a hands-on role where you’ll partner with teams across the organisation to provide pragmatic, solutions-focused advice that helps drive the business forward.
Your week might include:
Reviewing, drafting, and negotiating a range of commercial and government contracts
Advising on privacy, dispute resolution, and risk management matters
Helping teams interpret obligations, meet compliance requirements, and apply practical common sense to real-world issues
Supporting our Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) system and driving its adoption across the business
Let’s talk about you!
You’re a confident, commercially minded lawyer who thrives in a fast-paced, in-house environment and knows how to balance legal risk with business priorities. With around four years’ post-qualification experience, ideally across both private practice and in-house roles, you bring strong skills in contract review, negotiation and pragmatic advice.
Experience in healthcare or government is a plus, and if you’re familiar with CLM systems, even better. Above all, you’re proactive, practical and adaptable — because HCA’s legal work is nothing if not diverse.
Bring your expertise to HCA and be rewarded with:
Impactful Role: A chance to work with a well-respected Australian organisation and make a significant impact on its future
