We understand that moving to Australia is a big step. If you join us you will be provided with information pack and support to assist you with the move and getting settled. As a starting point the following are some of the first things to consider:
Relocation support – In relocating to Australia we will provide you with the support, guidance and offer a relocation package that may be used to cover costs such as airfares for you and family members, freight of household goods, insurances, temporary accommodation on arrival, and agreed related expenses.
Living away from home allowance – For eligible candidates the firm offers an allowance to assist to cover the cost of living away from home in Australia.
Sponsorship – A valid working visa is necessary for non-Australian citizens. However we will provide the visa application support to achieve this as quickly as possible. We utilise the expertise of external consultants to enable applications to be made. All expenses associated with the application process are paid by the firm.
Induction and orientation – Upon your commencement with the firm your induction and orientation program will assist you to get settled in the office and in your new city. You will have a buddy to guide you and a structured program to introduce you to the firm and local work environment.
Requalifying and practising certificates – The eligibility requirements for practicing in Australia vary from State to State. For overseas practitioners the following websites provide information on the eligibility and application processes:
Sydney – www.lawsociety.com.au
Melbourne – www.supremecourt.vic.gov.au
Once you have made your decision to join us, a member of the Human Resources team will be your contact point to assist you with your move.
Your development program
Middletons' commitment to continuous education is demonstrated through our holistic Learning and Development Program. A suite of customised workshops have been developed for each career level. They are designed to develop your skills and experience to meet the demands of working in a commercial law firm.
Our program delivers formal development in legal technical skills, business knowledge, client skills and personal effectiveness.
We believe face-to-face learning is essential for participants in order to have the opportunity to ask questions, receive coaching and learn alongside their peers.
A supportive setting, a practical focus and feedback is what makes our Learning and Development Program effective and enjoyable. Our people gain valuable skills and knowledge from partners, lawyers, external presenters and our Learning and Development team.
