About ATSICHS Brisbane

ATSICHS Brisbane is a not-for-profit community owned health and human services organisation delivering on the unique health and wellbeing needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in greater Brisbane and Logan.

About the Role

The Family Wellbeing Support Specialist will work with families in partnership to empower and build their agency to make effective change and overcome their identified family challenges.
