THE ROLE
To be an effective Senior Child Protection Practitioner, you will have a strong sense of social justice and understand that families are complex, with their own unique histories.

There may be a requirement to work overnight, travel in evenings and early mornings, and occasionally work additional hours to ensure the wellbeing of children.
You will possess an understanding of Aboriginal culture and demonstrate knowledge of legislative, policy, and practice requirements relating to Aboriginal children, families, and communities, including the Aboriginal Child Placement Principle and related programs supporting its implementation in child protection practice.
ACCOUNTABILITIES INCLUDE- Risk assessment and analysis: Develops and coaches others in understanding risk assessment and analysis.
- Case planning review and case management: Provides case planning advice, guidance, and support; directly supports and inputs into cases with unacceptable risk to the child.
