We are an independent, non-religious service provider supporting people to live life their way.
We are strongly committed to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia, promoting their economic, political, and social inclusion.

- Assess family strengths and needs, developing case plans to build resilience and positive relationships.
- Use evidence-informed practices and partner with other services to support families.
- Tailor support using a strengths-based approach to meet individual family needs.
We support people to live their best life, including our employees. A 'best life' is unique and adaptable:
- Salary Packaging: Package up to $15,900 pa of pre-tax salary for expenses, increasing take-home pay.
- Work / Life Balance: Flexible arrangements, hybrid work options, and an additional day off each month (12 days/year).
- Recognition and Rewards: Competitive pay, recognition programs, and long service leave after 5 years.
- Wellness: Fitness passport, Employee Assistance Program, and additional leave options.
- Professional Development: Tailored career growth opportunities.
- Reconciliation Commitment: Up to 2 days paid cultural leave, 10 days unpaid, and opportunities for cultural and professional development.

- A relevant qualification (diploma or degree).

- Current driver's license.
- A holistic, strengths-based approach.
- Ability to engage with diverse communities, including Aboriginal communities.
