  4. Foster a culture of quality frontline service delivery based on collaboration, cooperation, commitment to excellence, and professional ethics.
  5. Maintain high-quality case records in accordance with departmental requirements.
  6. Engage in continuous learning, training, and professional development to ensure practice remains current and evidence-based.
  7. Contribute to continuous quality improvement initiatives.
  8. Use professional experience in child protection to provide coaching and mentoring to less experienced Child Safety Officers, helping develop their skills and knowledge.
  9. Maintain cultural capability by committing to self-directed learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and contributing to a culturally safe and inclusive workplace.

Applications remain current for 12 months. Previous departmental applicants will be subject to internal disciplinary checks.
