What You Will Be Doing


Changing Ways– Delivered by Peninsula Health in partnership with Good Shepherd, is a two-year pilot and is one of three funded pilot programs in Victoria focusing on broadening the suite of perpetrator interventions to include a focused response for serious-risk perpetrators.

Changing Ways aims to reduce the impact and incidence of family violence on current and former partners and family members, as well as reducing the likelihood that a perpetrator will harm future partners and family members.

Changing Ways aims to provide an intensive response to:

  • increase the safety of victim survivors – reducing the use and impact of family violence on former, current, or future partners and family members of perpetrators who pose a serious risk
  • tailor interventions that directly engage the adult using family violence who poses a serious risk, using multiple approaches to support them to take responsibility for stopping their family violence
  • better coordinate across the service system so that serious-risk adults using family violence become and remain in view of services, and their use of violence and risk can be collaboratively addressed
  • build evidence of what works to respond to serious-risk adults using family violence.
The Comprehensive Case Management Practitioner will be one of two positions in this pilot program.

Peninsula Health will hold the position specialising in working with men who use violence whilst Good Shepherd will hold the position specialising in working with victim survivors of family violence.

Position funded until June 30, 2025. Full-time preferable however part-time can be negotiated.

What You Need

We anticipate you will have:

  • Relevant qualification in Social Work, Social Science or related fields. Qualifications must align with the Mandatory Minimum Qualification Requirements for Specialist Family Violence Practitioner (Recommendation 209)
  • Social Workers require eligibility for full membership with the AASW.
  • Extensive experience in direct specialist family violence services
  • Demonstrated skills and strong clinical experience in assertive outreach, risk assessment and safety planning, case management and evidence-informed family violence interventions.
  • Extensive experience working with male perpetrators who use violence
  • Advanced skills in comprehensive risk assessment and safety planning.
  • Proven interpersonal skills and a strong ability to build relationships and partnerships to further agency objectives and improve client outcomes.
  • Hold a current 'Working with Children check'.
  • Hold a current, valid Victorian Driver's Licence
  • Willingness to undergo a National criminal history check
  • Ability to work autonomously, manage competing priorities and manage time effectively.
