About Us

Boorndawan Willam Aboriginal Healing Service (BWAHS) are the lead specialists in Aboriginal specific family violence services across the Eastern Metropolitan Region.

POSITION SUMMARY

Administration:

  • Ensure that client records are in accordance with BWAHS quality and audit requirements.
  • Comply with and report upon all funding agencies data recording requirements, accurately and in a timely manner.
