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.

You will possess an understanding of Aboriginal culture and demonstrate knowledge of legislative, policy, and practice requirements related to Aboriginal children, families, and communities, including the Aboriginal Child Placement Principle and related programs and initiatives.

- Critical Assessment and Reflection: Engaging in risk assessment, analysis, case management, reporting, and reflective practice.
- Engaging Others: Engaging with children, families, and support networks. Collaborating with practitioners and services, and sharing knowledge.
