Indigenous cadetships 

The Crown Solicitor’s Office can support First Nations law students through cadetships while they study law.

The cadetship includes:

• 60 days of paid employment
• mentorship
• support for each year of full-time study.

Students can still access study assistance through Abstudy or Indigenous Cadetship Support.

Cadets employed through Indigenous Cadetship Support can also access a yearly support payment to help meet the costs of textbooks and related materials.

Email CSO-BusinessServices@sa.gov.au to find out more about cadetships.

Power Cup 

Each year, we aim to employ a high school graduate who has participated in the Power Cup.

We offer traineeships across various areas of the department.

For graduates who have finished a traineeship and would like to study law, we can support them through a Bachelor of Law by way of a cadetship. Then continue the support into a paralegal role and ongoing legal role.
