Job Function: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

Work Type: Fixed term - full time or part time

About Us

The Coroners Court of Victoria (CCOV) has three key functions:

  1. Independently investigating deaths and fires. Certain deaths and fires are reported to Coroners for independent investigation.
  2. Reducing preventable deaths. Wherever possible, the Coroner will suggest ways to prevent similar deaths or fires by making well-informed and practical recommendations based on the evidence before them.
  3. Promoting public health and safety and the administration of justice. CCOV regularly reports on data and trends regarding preventable deaths in Victoria to help inform public health responses.
About the Role

The Aboriginal Project Officer sits within the Yirramboi Murrup Unit (YMU) of CCOV. The purpose of the role is to engage and consult with local Victorian and other Aboriginal communities and stakeholders to develop a community engagement strategy for CCOV.

The strategy aims to improve coronial investigations into passings of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to advocate for measures to improve health and wellbeing in their communities.

The Aboriginal Project Officer has responsibility to:

  • Develop and build strong relationships with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal stakeholders including Traditional Owner groups and the Regional Aboriginal Justice Advisory Committees.
  • Provide high-quality written reports that include expert advice, reasoned recommendations, and innovative policy options and solutions to complex and sensitive issues in the Victorian Aboriginal community.
  • Manage project timelines and deliverables and provide expert and timely updates to the Manager, YMU, and the Principal Registrar.
  • Coordinate, identify, and develop the Aboriginal Community Engagement Strategy through a combination of high-level project management, stakeholder engagement, collaboration, and advocacy.
About You

To be successful, you will have good project management and written communication skills along with the ability to critically examine information, consider options, and identify solutions.

You will also possess:

  • Specialist knowledge and understanding of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, both society and culture, and the issues impacting on it.
  • Ability to work and communicate effectively and sensitively with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and a diverse range of stakeholders to achieve sustainable outcomes.
  • A sound understanding of the principles of cultural safety and demonstrated ability to effect culturally safe practice.
