AMA (NSW) is the peak body representing the state's medical profession - advocating for doctors and their patients, and supporting our members through some of the most complex moments in their careers. Our small but high-impact Workplace Relations team is the first port of call when members need practical, reliable advice they can trust.

We're looking for a Workplace Relations Advisor to join that team. This is a genuine advisory role from day one - you'll be giving real advice to real members on real problems, with the backing and mentorship of our Director of Workplace Relations, not sitting on the sidelines.

Responsibilities

Reporting to the Director of Workplace Relations, you'll provide timely, practical workplace relations and medico-legal advice to AMA (NSW) members, including on:
Visiting Medical Officer Determinations and NSW Public Hospital Awards
The Fair Work Act, relevant awards, and employer obligations
Dispute resolution and grievance procedures
Performance management, redundancy and termination processes in private practice
Contracts, workplace investigations, and policy and procedure advice

You'll also prepare correspondence and letters of advice, present at webinars and training sessions, and contribute to the ongoing improvement of the advice AMA (NSW)



delivers to its members - with support from the team's paralegals and the wider Workplace Relations group around you.

Qualifications
Admitted as a legal practitioner in NSW
At least two years' post-admission experience as a solicitor, ideally with exposure to employment law or industrial relations
Confident written and verbal communicator, able to translate legal concepts for a non-legal audience
Accurate, organised, and comfortable managing competing priorities
Experience in a member-based, not-for-profit or health care setting is a bonus, not a requirement.

What's on offer
Full time or part time (four days, including Fridays) considered
Work from home up to two days a week, with adaptable start and finish times
Real mentoring and career development from an experienced Director of Workplace Relations
The chance to work on genuinely varied, meaningful advisory matters - not just process
A supportive, values-led team culture at a respected member organisation
If you're a solicitor looking to build real advisory experience in employment law and industrial relations - with the flexibility and support to do it well, we'd love to hear from you.
