LAWYERS, administration workers and support staff at Victorian Legal Aid could walk off the job after Fair Work Australia approved a ballot for protected industrial action.
Union members have until March 15 to vote on a range of measures that could include anything from distributing campaign material to strikes.
Staff are seeking a pay increase above the current offer of nine per cent over three years.
Meanwhile, Victorian Legal Aid is seeking government approval to put the offer directly to staff in a ballot, in a bid to end the 12-month pay dispute.
"Victoria Legal Aid has been working hard to resolve its enterprise bargaining negotiations as soon as possible while seeking an enterprise agreement that is both fair and affordable," VLA managing director Bevan Warner said in a statement.
Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) Victorian secretary Karen Batt said legal aid workers hadn't had a pay increase since 2009.
"They're coming up to two years since they've actually had a pay rise and they're not proposing to recognise that in the offer," Ms Batt told AAP on Sunday.
She said staff wanted a similar deal to other public service sectors which averaged a rise closer to four per cent.
