  • Provide specialist family violence services, including intake and risk assessment, to victim survivors and their families.
  • Develop and maintain relationships with key stakeholders, including government agencies, community organizations, and other service providers.
  • Contribute to the development of policies and procedures related to family violence, including risk management and safety planning.
Requirements
  • Hold a social work degree or qualification in a related field or relevant experience, in line with the mandatory minimum qualification's requirements for specialist family violence practitioners.
  • Specialist knowledge and skills and prior experience providing family violence services, including intake and risk assessment.
  • A demonstrated understanding of the social and gendered context of family violence and the impact of violence on women and children.
  • Commit to working inclusively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, LGBTIQA+ people and people with disabilities.
  • Understanding of legislation, risk management and reforms pertaining to the family violence sector.
  • Demonstrated personal commitment to the practice and principles of non-violence, justice, social inclusion and gender equity issues.
