Career Highlight: Barrister

What is a barrister? A barrister is a lawyer with specialist skills in representing clients in court or in a negotiation and advising on court processes. Many barristers are specialists in particular areas of law, such as criminal law, corporations’ law, property law or personal injury.

Becoming a barrister is about your skills and abilities. The barrister profession in Australia is represented in each of the states and territories. Barristers are regulated by the Bar for the jurisdiction where they practice. All state and territory Bar Associations are members of the Australian Bar Association, and The Bar has diverse membership from many ethnic backgrounds.

How are barristers and solicitors different? Barristers and solicitors are types of lawyers. Solicitors are generally the first lawyer that a client will see to explain their legal problem. Not all legal issues end up in court—for example, drafting a contract or a Will, or looking after the buying and selling of a house—so not all legal issues require the expertise of a barrister.

Career Highlight: Speech Pathologist

Speech pathologists study, diagnose and treat communication disorders, including difficulties with speaking, listening, understanding language, reading, writing, social skills, stuttering and using voice.

They work with people who have difficulty communicating because of developmental delays, stroke, brain injuries, learning disability, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, dementia and hearing loss, as well as other problems that can affect speech and language. People who experience difficulties swallowing food and drink safely can also be helped by a speech pathologist.
