Financial Rights is undertaking an exciting recruitment drive. We are growing our team under the increasing pressure of demand for assistance from the community.

New 2026 data from the National Debt Helpline (NDH) shows a significant increase in people seeking support and demand for our national Insurance Law Service continue to be much higher than we can meet with current resources.

While we hate to see so many Australians struggling with financial stress, we are excited about investing in a stronger, more resilient and modern Financial Rights Legal Centre. We are currently recruiting for several senior executive roles for passionate, values-driven people who want to contribute to an organisation committed to helping others.
