About the Business Unit
This is an exciting opportunity to deliver a major new initiative for victims of crime. The FAS is a landmark reform that will replace the judicially based Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal with an administrative scheme that prioritises the needs of victims and supports their recovery from violent crime.
The FAS is highly anticipated by victims and stakeholders and represents a major leap forward in the Victorian Government's response to victims of crime. Established under the Victims of Crime (Financial Assistance Scheme) Act 2022 the FAS will provide financial assistance through a simple and easy to navigate process that is fair, sensitive, and responsive to victims' needs. It will acknowledge harm done and be trauma informed, with a priority focus on being inclusive and culturally safe.
Reporting to the FAS Contact Centre Supervisor you will be responsible for responding to FAS enquiries. You will communicate with victims and provide advice and support to access the FAS, in a confidential and trauma-informed manner.
About the Role
**Duties will include**:

- Act as the first point of contact for FAS enquiries by responding to calls and written enquiries, from victims and service providers.
- Provide up-to-date advice on victim financial entitlements and other supports available to victims of crime.
- Convey financial assistance information clearly and accurately, responding to victims, service providers, and team members in a professional, sensitive, victim-focused, and culturally safe manner.

To learn more about this role before applying, please read the attached position description.
About you
**To be successful in this role, you will have**:

- Experience working in a call centre environment.
- Understanding of victimisation, with an understanding of the nature and dynamics of family violence and sexual assault highly desirable.
- Experience using Salesforce Service Cloud, or other similar case management systems.

**Qualifications**:

- Experience in community services, social work, criminology, psychology, victim services and/or family violence is desirable.
