Our programs aim to support victim-survivors to remain safely within their community and to recover from the impacts of family violence and, to support accountability and change for people who have used or are using force or violence.

Supporting clients to engage with programs designed to address their abusive behaviours by developing an understanding of their use of violence and adopting strategies to decrease violence and increase safety.
Please see position description for further information on the roles expectations and requirements.
Your Skills and Experience
The successful candidate will hold a minimum Bachelor level qualification in Social Work or recent employment in the family violence sector or equivalency met through the 7 Equivalency Principles in line with the minimum mandatory qualification requirements.
Please see for further information.
The specialised level of this role will require the ability to be able to reflect and analyse complex situations arising in specialist family violence casework and the commitment to working collaboratively with the capacity to negotiate and liaise with other agencies and the community.
Experience within and an understanding of the Family Violence service sector and the Central Highlands regional service system, and an understanding of the Child, Youth and Families Act 2007 and the Family Violence Protection Act 2008.
