Why this role matters

It is open for face-to-face assistance, on a drop-in basis, from 9am until 11pm every day of the year (inc. public holidays) and offers a telephone-based response 24/7.


The CCC is a high-volume service that assists over 17,000 households a year, and while many are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, clients of the service present with a broad range of needs.

Immediate assistance may include financial assistance for emergency housing, food vouchers and other material aid, information, advocacy and planning, as well as referral to specialist supports in relation to housing, family violence, alcohol and other drug use and mental health.

We are currently recruiting for permanent part-time roles due to the increase in demand for our essential service.
