Rural After Hours Services (RAHS) teams are part of the After Hours Services (Statewide) service across the state.

- initiate and prepare matters for the Children's Court
- work closely with other professionals such as police, family violence services, Aboriginal Controlled Community Organisations (ACCO) and medical professionals to share information and conduct a shared approach to risk.


As a member of this team you are eligible for a standby (on-call) allowance for each time period you are on standby, regardless of whether you are called out on an outreach visit, as well as additional overtime rates for hours worked when called out on outreach visits.
