Allied Justice is proud to announce the
appointment of Mogahid Ahmed (Moga) as our new Director of Legal. Moga brings over eight years of diverse legal experience across civil, corporate, and summary crime, with strong expertise in community law, Aboriginal justice, and disaster legal assistance.
Throughout his career, Moga has worked in Victoria and the Northern Territory in roles that combine legal and systemic advocacy and community engagement. He has represented clients in matters involving family violence, housing, summary crime, mental health, and civil law, and has led advocacy on nationally significant issues.
Notably, while working as a Corporate Lawyer for the Central Australian Aboriginal Congress (CAAC), Moga played a key role in defending the organisation’s right to use the Aboriginal Flag in its logo. His advocacy helped secure a federal resolution on a matter of great cultural and national importance.
Moga’s experience includes developing collaborative disaster legal assistance responses after the 2022 Victorian floods, co-presenting legal education sessions in affected communities, and working closely with Aboriginal organisations to ensure culturally safe access to justice. Most recently, he helped establish Victoria Legal Aid’s (VLA) dedicated First Nations legal help line, leading a small team and shaping service design to better meet community needs alongside VLA First Nations leaders.
Moga says he was drawn to Allied Justice by the organisation’s integrated services model, which combines legal and non-legal supports to address the underlying causes of legal problems.
