    Our Organisation

    The Benevolent Society's vision is to build a just society where all Australians can live their best life. For more than 200 years we have supported people at the margins of society: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians; children, young people, and their families; older people; carers and people with disability. We are an independent, non-religious service provider which supports people to live life their way.

    As part of The Benevolent Society's vision, we are strongly committed to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia. We remain steadfast in our commitment to promoting the economic, political, and social inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

    Our services are voluntary to families at high risk of entering or escalating within the statutory child protection system.

    Duties

    • Undertake an initial assessment of family strengths and needs and develop case plans that build on the family's resilience to enable them to build strong, positive relationships.
    • Use evidence informed practices while partnering with other services to support the family to shape their next chapter.
    • Tailor your support to families using a strengths-based approach to ensure services fit with the individual needs of the family.

    • Salary Benefits -You can package up to $15,900 pa of your pre-tax salary to pay for everyday expenses before income tax is calculated, meaning you take homeeven more pay
