A 'best life' is unique and adaptable:

Salary Benefits - Package up to $15,900 pa of your pre-tax salary for expenses before income tax, increasing your take-home pay
Work / Life Balance - Enjoy flexible work arrangements, including hybrid home/office options, and an additional day off each month (12 days per year).

Wellness - Fitness passport, Employee Assistance Program, and options to purchase additional leave.
Professional Development - Tailored career growth opportunities for enrichment and fulfillment.
Reconciliation Commitment - Up to 2 days paid plus 10 days unpaid cultural leave for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees, with opportunities for cultural and professional development.

A relevant qualification (diploma or degree).
Experience assessing child protection risk.
