Department of Justice

The Department of Justice plays a vital role in shaping a safe, fair and just Tasmania. We do this by protecting people’s rights, resolving disputes, improving laws and supporting people to meet their responsibilities.

Working with us means contributing to a justice system that is effective, accessible and built around people. It is meaningful work. You’ll be part of a department that influences positive behaviour, upholds the rule of the law and works for the benefit of all Tasmanians.

Our department brings together a diverse mix of professions and expertise, from correctional and legal services to corporate, infrastructure and IT projects. We also provide administrative support to courts, tribunals and commissions across the state, helping ensure Tasmania’s justice system runs smoothly and fairly.

Our values are a representation of who we are and what we want to be known for in the Tasmanian community. We act with integrity by being honest, ethical, reliable and fair. We treat everyone with respect, valuing diverse experiences and perspectives. We take accountability for our actions, working transparently and responsibly. We are inclusive, creating environments where people feel valued and treated equitably. And we are collaborative, working together to make informed decisions that benefit Tasmanians.

These values influence our approach to policies, practices and service delivery. They guide how we work with colleagues, clients and other organisations, and they help create a productive and supportive environment where people can do meaningful work in a meaningful place.

We offer a wide range of career opportunities across our department and we encourage applications from people of all walks of life. Whatever your background, there’s an opportunity to make a real impact.

Alongside worthwhile work in a diverse, inclusive and collaborative environment, our people enjoy benefits including a healthy work/life balance, competitive salaries, a variety of leave packages, paid and supported training, access to our health and wellbeing program and more.
