ABOUT THE ORGANISATIONinTouch Multicultural Centre Against Family Violence (inTouch) provides person-centered, integrated and culturally responsive family violence services to people from migrant and refugee communities across Victoria. We have assisted over 30,000 women and children experiencing family violence throughout our 40 years of operation, providing a holistic service that centres the experiences of victim-survivors in everything we do.
inTouch works across the family violence continuum, providing culturally informed early intervention, case management, programs for men who use violence, legal advice, crisis recovery and enhanced capacity-building across the sector and community. We are proud to provide high-level leadership and guidance to all levels of government with our evidence-based, victim-survivor informed advocacy and policy work.
We are a unique and vital service, with specialist expertise working with people of migrant and refugee backgrounds. This is reflected in our workforce, which is comprised primarily of people who are migrants and refugees themselves – the inTouch team is from over 20 different countries and communities globally.
ABOUT THE PROGRAMMotivation for Change (MFC) is an early intervention program that addresses the significant barriers migrant and refugee men can face when engaging with mainstream family violence services. It combines one-on-one case management and group sessions with an understanding of the migration journey, language, culture and faith into the program. It provides a space where men can reflect on their behaviours and share their experiences with facilitators and other participants of a similar cultural background, strengthening their relationships.
ABOUT THE ROLEThe Family Violence Practitioner will provide trauma-informed case management support to persons who use family violence whilst engaged in the MFC Program. They will assess, monitor, plan and manage cases, as well as advocate for services to uphold the safety of victim survivors. Case management support aims to provide opportunities to focus on and highlight physical, psychological and emotional safety for all concerned. Practitioners will also work closely with Group Facilitators and Partner Contact workers to monitor and respond to safety concerns.
Whilst the majority of casework is done by phone, the Practitioner is required to travel and provide face-to-face support and/or outreach as required.
