Working for the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) provides lots of opportunities to make a real difference. We collaborate with other agencies and community partners, to improve lives and realise the potential of children, adults, families and communities. We're focused on breaking, rather than managing, disadvantage. It’s work that really matters.

Describe a time where you have managed a formal complaint, made in relation to a particular project, program, or service provider you managed.
- What steps did you undertake to manage the complaint?
- How did you manage the complex negotiation?
- What was the outcome?

**Question 2 (**Capability Assessed)**: Think and Solve Problems, Procurement and Contract Management, Customer Service)

DCJ implements changes and reforms rapidly, as is consistent with working within a Government environment. The Permanency Support Program reform is always changing to ensure children in OOHC have the best opportunity for permanency.
- Demonstrate an example of when you have had to support both internal and external stakeholders to maintain standards of quality service delivery in line with best practice, service guidelines and accreditation, and client centred practice?

- What was the outcome?
