About us
At the Department of Justice (DoJ), purpose drives everything we do.
We’re one of Queensland’s larger and most diverse public sector departments working every day to strengthen communities, uphold human rights, and keep Queenslanders safe.
From supporting victims of crime to delivering court services, shaping policy, and advising government, our work touches lives across the state. Justice isn’t just in our name, it’s our purpose.
We’re a team of over 4,000 professionals across more than 100 locations, united by fairness, integrity, and accountability. Our people include legal experts, court officers, investigators, regulatory and compliance specialists, policy advisers, project officers, and corporate staff -all playing their part in delivering justice that works for Queensland.
We’re proud of our talented and dedicated team and we’re always looking for more great people to join us. At DoJ, we offer meaningful careers built on our four core pillars:
Flexible options to fit work and life together
Flexibility isn’t one size fits all. Whether it’s hybrid, part-time, flexible hours or purchased leave, we help you shape a way of working that suits your life and delivers for Queensland.
Together: A connected, inclusive culture
We thrive on collaboration, shared purpose, and mutual respect. Join a high-performing, values-led team that delivers meaningful outcomes for Queenslanders. You’ll work alongside experts, other government agencies, and real communities to make a tangible difference and we support each other every step of the way.
Growth: Career development and pathways
We invest in your development through mentoring, mobility, being able to act in different roles and financial assistance and leave for study. Whether you’re starting out or stepping up, we’ll support your growth wherever your career begins or leads.
Stability and opportunity
We strive to provide secure employment and longer-term opportunities wherever possible. Being part of a larger Queensland Government department means there are different opportunities for you to explore along the way.
