“Lawyer” is the very general term covering somebody who has been trained in the law and is qualified to give legal advice. In Australia you need to hold a practising certificate (be licensed) to work as a lawyer. Lawyers must comply with stringent professional standards, or they lose their licence (they are “struck off”).
