The Neighbourhood Justice Centre (NJC) in Collingwood offers a five-day work experience program for students aged 15 and over who attend school in the City of Yarra.

At the NJC, we bring together a team of professionals who work in the court, provide legal advice, support people on probation, help clients with challenges, and connect with the community—all working as one to make a positive difference.

How to Apply

Applications for our 2025 work experience placements are now open. The program is hosted by our Education & Public Programs team, and wherever possible, students will have the chance to observe other areas of the NJC.

Eligibility & Application Details

  • Who can apply: Students attending secondary school in the City of Yarra.
  • How to apply: Email the Education & Public Programs team at njc.education@courts.vic.gov.au (External link) and tell us a little bit about yourself and why you’d like to do your work experience at the NJC.
