Are you passionate about helping people get their lives back after injury or illness?
As Australia’s largest specialist in personal injury claims management, our sole focus is helping people return to work safely and confidently after a workplace incident.
We are seeking in-house Legal Specialists to join our Claims Business Unit. In this role, you will leverage your legal expertise and workers compensation knowledge to strategically manage and resolve claims involving litigation.
You will play a key role in:
Preparing and managing Work Injury Damages (WID) claims
Overseeing statutory litigation matters within the Personal Injury Commission
Managing other legally complex claims
Undertaking legal project work
Providing expert legal guidance and support to EML’s Nominal Insurer claims teams and policy holders
Reporting to the Legal Manager, you will contribute to achieving EML’s performance targets and organisational objectives while delivering a high standard of service to stakeholders.
This is an opportunity to apply your technical expertise within a collaborative environment where your work has genuine purpose and impact.
If you are looking to combine legal excellence with meaningful outcomes, this role offers both challenge and reward.
We’re now welcoming applications to join our supportive, purpose‑driven team in Sydney or Newcastle on a permanent, fulltime basis. This is deeply meaningful work where your empathy, problem‑solving and commitment have a profound impact every single day.
What You’ll Be Doing

1–3 years’ post-qualification experience, ideally within a Workers Compensation practice managing Work Injury Damages (WID) and statutory workers compensation matters.
Proven experience in a comparable legal role operating within a fast-paced, commercially focused environment.
