Our areas of focus include child protection, housing, disability, family violence prevention, multicultural affairs, LGBTQI+ equality, veterans, women, and youth. We work in various community-based settings, including people's homes, residential facilities, and secure settings across metropolitan, rural, and regional Victoria.
The Role:
The Child Protection Practitioner plays a critical role in receiving and assessing reports of alleged abuse and neglect of children and young people. They conduct investigations, develop plans to ensure the safety, stability, and development of children and young people, and promote the achievement of case plan objectives within specified timeframes. This may involve taking matters to court.
Key Responsibilities:
- Risk assessment and analysis: Gather information through various sources and technologies to identify, articulate, and plan for risks related to each situation. Apply a strong forensic lens and professional judgment to analyze the available evidence.
- Case planning review and case management: Draw insights from assessment and analysis to formulate a meaningful and effective case plan, and review case progress and outcomes. Coordinate and lead the planning, review, and management of casework within DFFH and across other agencies and services.
- Critical enquiry: Use evidence-based frameworks to investigate issues and understand the root cause of each issue as well as the potential implications.
COVID-19 Vaccination:
The department strongly recommends that employees maintain their COVID-19 vaccination status in accordance with current guidelines.
