In return for your contribution you will receive the following:
- ongoing supervision and professional development
- competitive remuneration and annual salary increase as provided for in the VPS Enterprise Agreement 2020
- varied career progression opportunities within the Family Violence Branch and broader organisation
- professional development planning with opportunity for eligible annual progression payments
